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.
A limited number of student
travel awards are available each year; for more information click on
“Student Travel Grant Guidelines” on the SAHMS website, http://www.sahms.net/ and see the “Call for Papers” page. Students MUST follow these guidelines to be considered for these travel awards.
