CfP: War, Medicine and Emotion (National Army Museum, London (1-2 April 2020)
We will be holding a Wellcome-funded two-day
workshop on the history of war, medicine and emotion and related topics at the
National Army Museum in London on 1-2 April 2020. The organisers are keen to
have papers representing a broad chronological, geographical and disciplinary
range. We would particularly welcome papers related to the following contexts:
- Civilians in war
- Surgery
- Race
- Gender
- Experience and reflection
- Imperialism
- Nationalism
To be considered, please send an abstract of up to
200 words and a short bio to surgeryandemotion@
The conference is organised by the University of
Roehampton Surgery & Emotions project, generously supported by the Wellcome
Trust. We also have funds available for a number of travel bursaries for PhD
students and early career scholars. To apply for one of these bursaries, please
include a 100-word justification with your abstract, telling us how attending
the workshop will benefit your career.
If you have any
queries, please contact James Kennaway.
