CFP: 80th Anglo-American Conference 2011: Health in History
80th Anglo-American Conference 2011: Health in History
http://www.history.ac.uk/events/event/1861
29 June 2011 - 1 July 2011
The history of medicine and of human society of sickness and health is an ever widening window through which the present can view the past. The study of the ways in which societies over time and at war and in peace have defined and treated their ‘sick’, the changing content and status of medical expertise and ethics, and those episodic moments when the globe has been transformed by epidemic, panic and panacea is now an integral part of mainstream history. Yet the field of medical history has changed and is changing rapidly. Moreover, the medical humanities are now critically placed in most cultures at the meeting point of research and social policy.
The conference website will go live on 1st September 2010. Registrations will open on 1st March 2011, with early bird discounts available.
