The Southern Association for the History of Medicine and Science has opened registration for its 2010 Conference, and has made the final program available for download (PDF).
The 2010 Conference will take place on March 5-6 in Louisville, KY. For anyone interested in the history of medicine and science, and in particular in the history of medicine and science in the Southern U.S., the program looks rich and exciting.
I do have the privilege of presenting a paper, and it is a paper I have been working on for some time, on the history of yellow fever in Galveston, and the relationship between theories of disease causality and public health policy. I wrote a first draft of this paper as a graduate student, and since then have slowly and painfully been revising and improving it. Frankly, it is not quite there yet, and I look forward to the comments and suggestions from the audience and attendees at the Conference.
In keeping with the general move of MH Blog to a greater focus on my own scholarship, I may have some more things to say about the Conference and the paper as we get closer to the date.
