Call for Papers
The American Association for the History of Medicine
(AAHM) invites abstracts for papers in any area of medical history for its
89th annual meeting, to be held in Minneapolis, Minnesota, 28 April to 1 May
2016. The AAHM welcomes papers on the history of health and healing; the
history of medical ideas, practices, and institutions; and the history of
illness, disease, or 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 Sarah Tracy
<swtracy@ou.edu> and Scott Podolsky
<scott_podolsky@hms.harvard.edu
>, encourages proposals for creatively structured panels and for
luncheon workshops. Please contact one or both of the Program Committee Co-chairs
if you are planning a panel or workshop. The Program Committee will judge
individual papers in each of these venues on their own merits.
Presentations
are limited to no more than 20 minutes. Papers must represent original work not
already published or in press. Speakers are encouraged to make their
manuscripts available to the Bulletin
of the History of Medicine, the official journal of the AAHM.
This year,
for the first time, the Program Committee also invites a limited number of
poster presentations. Poster proposals likewise will be considered
individually.
The AAHM
uses an online abstract submissions system, accessible through the organization
website at http://www.histmed.org/cfp2016.
Guidelines for writing a successful abstract may also be found through this
link.
Abstracts
must be submitted by 28 September 2015.
