World Vet History Congress - registration closes 18th August
Just a brief reminder that registration will be closing on
the 18th August for the biennial congress of the World Association for the
History of Veterinary Medicine, held at Imperial College London, 10-13
September 2014.
This
event, of interest to scholars of the history of medicine, environmental
history, and human-animal relationships among others, is being held held for
the first time in Britain this year. We have an exciting programme of
speakers from 30 countries, addressing the twin themes of ‘One Health’
(connections between human and animal health) and ‘War, animals and the
veterinary profession.’ There will also be sessions on veterinary collections,
general veterinary history and oral history: http://www.veterinaryhistorylondon.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/provisional-timetable-01-05.pdf
Keynotes
will be delivered by Professor Donald F. Smith, Professor of Surgery and Dean
Emeritus at Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine (‘History of One
Health’); and Dr Hilda Keane, Ruskin College, Oxford (‘War, Animals and the
Veterinary Profession’).
There
will be a welcome reception at the Royal Veterinary College, Camden, and the
conference dinner will be held in a riverside venue at King’s College London.
