CfP: "Managing Women's Health," Remedia series
Submissions are invited for a series hosted by the REMEDIA blog on the theme of ‘Managing Women’s Health’.
Healthcare
issues that primarily concern women have a long and fraught history of
being grouped diagnostically and financially outside traditional
structures of healthcare provision. Recently, the medical, financial and
commercial management of women’s bodies has been debated with renewed
vigor. The Remedia series on the history of ‘Managing Women’s Health’
seeks to illuminate current debates.
We intend this series to
range widely, from inequalities of healthcare funding to the ways in
which medical products are marketed to women. Pieces might consider
gendered diagnoses, healthcare funding for women’s health, women’s
health activism, the availability of contraception, aging and menopause,
female stereotyped care roles, patient etiquette and the language used
to describe women's bodies.
We welcome papers from colleagues
working in history, history of medicine and science, anthropology, women
and gender studies, and elsewhere in the humanities. There are no
restrictions to particular geographical locations or historical time
periods.
