The American Association for the History of Medicine
invites submissions
in any area of medical/health care history for its 87th
annual meeting,
to be held in Chicago, Illinois, USA, 8 - 11 May 2014.
The Association
welcomes submissions on the history of health and
healing; history of
medical ideas, practices, and institutions; and histories
of illness,
disease, and public health. Submissions pertaining to all
eras and
regions of the world are welcome. Papers and panels that
expand the
horizons of medical history and engage related fields are
particularly
encouraged. In addition to single-paper proposals, the
Program
Committee, led by co-chairs Jeremy Greene and Shigehisa
Kuriyama will
also accept abstracts for luncheon workshops and
entertain proposals for
creatively-structured panels. Please contact the Program
Committee
Co-chairs if you are planning a workshop or panel.
Individual papers for
workshops and panels will be judged on their own merits.
Presentations are limited to no more than 20 minutes.
Individuals
wishing to present a paper are not required to be members
of AAHM before
submitting an abstract, but strongly encouraged to join
AAHM before
presenting and registering for the meeting. All papers
must represent
original work not already published or in press. Because
the Bulletin of
the History of Medicine is the official journal of the
AAHM, the
Association encourages speakers to make their manuscripts
available for
consideration for publication by the Bulletin.
The AAHM uses an online abstract submissions system. We
encourage all
applicants to use this convenient software. If you are
unable to submit
proposals online, send eight copies of a one-page
abstract (350 words
maximum not including learning objectives) to the Program
Committee
co-Chair: Jeremy Greene, Associate Professor of Medicine
and the History
of Medicine, Elizabeth Treide and A. McGehee Harvey Chair
in the History
of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine,
Welch Library
324, 1900 E. Monument St., Baltimore, MD, 21210, USA.
When proposing a historical argument, state the major
claim, summarize
the evidence supporting the claim, and state the major
conclusion(s).
When proposing a narrative, summarize the story, identify
the major
agents, and specify the conflict. To facilitate approval
for CME/CNE
credit, which is vital to many AAHM members, abstracts
must include
three learning objectives, (not included in the 350 word
abstract
limit), to be chosen from a suggested list posted on the
meeting
website. In addition, please provide the following
information on the
same sheet as the abstract: name, preferred mailing
address, work and
home telephone numbers, e-mail address, present
institutional
affiliation, and academic degrees. We will make your
email address
available, if your paper is accepted, unless you opt out
of this by
emailing greene@jhmi.edu.
Abstracts must be received by 27 September
2013. E-mailed or faxed proposals cannot be accepted.
