Members' Publications
Books
White, R., Wyn, J. & Robards, B. (2017) Youth and Society, fourth edn, Oxford University Press.
The fourth edition of Youth and Society remains the most comprehensive and accessible textbook on the sociology of youth. Led by an expert author team, the text takes a holistic approach to the concept of youth, providing an engaging and authoritative overview of the key debates, research and theories of youth and society in Australia. Each chapter has been revised to reflect the issues confronting youth, youth researchers and policy-makers today.
Deborah Lupton (2018) Digital Health: Critical and Cross-Disciplinary Perspectives, Routledge
The rise of digital health technologies is, for some, a panacea to many of the medical and public health challenges we face today. This is the first book to articulate a critical response to the techno-utopian and entrepreneurial vision of the digital health phenomenon. Deborah Lupton, internationally renowned for her scholarship on the sociocultural and political aspects of medicine and health as well as digital technologies, addresses a range of compelling issues about the interests digital health represents, and its unintended effects on patients, doctors and how we conceive of public health and healthcare delivery.
