This April [[File:Doctors_Without_Borders.jpg|thumbnail|left|250px|Doctors Without Borders: Humanitarian Quests, Impossible Dreams of Médecins Sans Frontières by Renée Fox]] John Hopkins University Press recently published Renée Fox's new book, ''[http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1421416921/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=93 Doctors Without Borders: Humanitarian Quests, Impossible Dreams of Médecins Sans Frontières]''. Renée Fox is currently both a Professor Emerita of Sociology and the Annenberg Professor Emerita of the Social Sciences at the University of Pennsylvania. Fox is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Philosophical Society, and the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences, a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and an Honorary Member of Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society.
Renée Fox’s major teaching and research interests – sociology of medicine, medical research, medical education, and medical ethics – have involved her in first-hand, participant observation-based studies in Continental Europe (particularly in Belgium), in Central Africa (especially in the Democratic Republic of Congo), and in the People’s Republic of China, as well as in the United States. It was during her research that she first learned of French medical organization Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders. In 1994, Fox began an extensive ethnographic study of MSF that would span decades. Her access to MSF was unparalleled. Noted scholar Charles E. Rosenberg described Fox's book as "an extraordinarily insightful study of an extraordinary organization."
