- This longer-form output draws on rigorous empirical data, including 100+ interviews with multi-sited participants involved in cosmetic surgery (CS) and international medical treatment (IMT). Conceptually it challenges and develops new frameworks for understanding CS/IMT including assemblage thinking, global mobilities and markets, encounters/conviviality. Use of reflexive ethnographic reporting and discussion is innovative and significant. This output has received wide scholarly and general acclaim including the 2020 book prize by the Foundation for the Sociology of Health and Illness.
