The Future of Medical History
Announcement and Call for Papers
15th - 17th July 2010
Goodenough College, Bloomsbury, London
The Wellcome Centre for the History of Medicine is hosting a three-day international conference on the future of the history of medicine. Papers are invited on the disciplinary and methodological challenges facing the field in all aspects of research and resourcing, not excluding media technologies and publishing.
The scope, breadth, and viability of the field as a whole in the 21st Century will be discussed in Panel Sessions on ‘The Neurological Turn’, ‘The Cultures of Food’, ‘The Place of Non-Humans in the Project of Medical Humanism’, ‘Asian Medicine’, and ‘Global Health’. Further suggestions for panels are welcome.
Papers should be 20 minutes, a selection of which will be published in Medical History. Please send an abstract of not more than 200 words to Lauren Cracknell (l.cracknell@ucl.ac.uk) by 1 June 2010.
Posters will also be welcomed.
Due to current circumstances, the Centre regrets that it is unable to cover the cost of travel or accommodation. Further details will soon be available on the Centre website (http://www.ucl.ac.uk/histmed/future_histmed).
