12-13 October 2017
Shanghai University, China
The Society for the Social History of Medicine
periodically hosts an international conference for postgraduate
students. The 2017 conference committee welcomes papers on any topic
within the discipline of the social history of medicine
and particularly encourage proposals for papers and panels that
critically examine or challenge some aspect of the history of medicine
and health. We welcome a range of methodological approaches,
geographical regions, and time periods.
Proposals should be based on new research from
postgraduate students currently registered in a University programme.
Paper submissions should include a 250-word abstract, including five key
words and a short (1-page) CV. Panel submissions
should feature three papers (each with a 250-word abstract, including
five key words, and a short CV), a chair, and a 100-word panel abstract.
For postgraduate students not currently funded
through an existing fellowship or grant, funding is available to cover
the costs associated with visas, travel, and accommodation in Shanghai.
Upon confirmation of an accepted abstract, each
postgraduate student is required to apply for a visa to travel to
China. For more information about visas, please see
https://www.gov.uk/foreign-
All postgraduate delegates must register (or
already be registered) as members of the Society for the Social History
of Medicine. For more information about SSHM student membership, please
