My friend and former colleague Andy Alaszewski, who has died aged 76, was an inspiring social scientist. His research spanned health policy, illness and disability, and the wider relationship between health and society.
In 1998 Andy founded the journal Health, Risk & Society with Jill Manthorpe. As its editor for 20 years, he developed it into an influential forum for risk theory and wide-ranging empirical studies, attracting global contributors and readerships.
