Call for Papers: Southern Association for the History of Medicine and
Science (SAHMS) Nineteenth Annual Meeting, Coastal Carolina University, Myrtle Beach,
South Carolina, March 16-18, 2017
Submissions for individual papers or for panels can be made online at
the SAHMS website, at http://www.sahms.net/call-for-papers.html.
SAHMS is seeking
paper submissions from scholars in the history of medicine and science. Anyone including
students, with an academic interest in the history of medicine and or science
is to welcome and encouraged to submit a paper.
History of Medicine and Science is broadly
construed to encompass all fields and subfields historical, literary,
philosophical, legal, and sociological related to the historical understanding
of any aspect of science, medicine, health care, and the medical and health
science professions. SAHMS also welcomes
paper submissions on closely related topics, including issues related to
science or medicine involving race, disabilities, sustainability, technology,
and gender studies. Participants may propose individual papers or panels of
several papers on a particular theme.
If you are proposing a panel, please
provide the title and theme of the panel, and a list of 3 or 4 authors and
paper titles related to that topic; each author will need to individually
submit their own paper proposal for their paper within the panel. SAHMS reserves the right to reject individual
papers or the entire panel topic, or to add thematically related papers to the
panel as our scheduling needs dictate.
Each presenter is limited to 20 minutes, with additional time for questions and
discussion when possible. Please do not submit papers that have already been
published, presented, or scheduled for presentation at another meeting. All
participants and attendees are responsible for their own travel expenses and
must pay conference registration costs/meeting fees.
