Dr Mina Hosseini and Professor Imelda Maher guest edit "The Journal of Law, Medicine & Ethics"

We are pleased to share details of the September issue of The Journal of Law, Medicine & Ethics which has been guest edited by our colleagues Dr Mina Hosseini and Professor Imelda Maher. The edition is titled “Public Health, Markets, and Law” and is a collection of papers presented at two international workshops hosted by Dr Hosseini and Professor Maher. Published by Cambridge University Press, the edition is available at (opens in a new window)this link.
The “Public Health, Markets, and Law” symposium examines how legal and market frameworks influence public health in an increasingly complex global environment. It explores the intersections between public health, market dynamics, and legal frameworks.
This collection emerged from two workshops funded by the EU’s MSCA COMPHACRISIS project and UCD Sutherland School of Law. These workshops brought together a diverse range of experts from various backgrounds and career stages, including public health, business, sociology, law, and ethics, enabling us to view public health problems from different perspectives and uncover relationships that may not be apparent when viewed through a single lens.
