Call for applications: Emerging Perspectives in Health History (Granada, 22–23 June 2026)
The workshop Emerging Perspectives in Health History: Care, Teaching and Critical Dialogues will take place at the University of Granada on 22–23 June 2026. It is aimed at early-career researchers in the history of medicine and is organized within the framework of the COST Action CA22159 National, International and Transnational Histories of Healthcare, 1850–2000 (EuroHealthHist).
The workshop seeks to foster academic exchange among young scholars across Europe working on the history of healthcare. It addresses key objectives of EuroHealthHist by promoting interdisciplinary collaboration, reducing linguistic barriers, and supporting equality of opportunities across geographical, career-stage and gender lines. It also responds to challenges identified by early-career researchers in academic and extra-academic contexts, with particular attention to peripheral actors and intersecting disciplinary margins in health history.
Discussions will culminate in an open-access collaborative report. Sessions will be held in English, though participants may collaborate on translations. The workshop aims to strengthen professional networks and foster long-term collaborations.
Applications are open to early-career scholars (MA students, PhD candidates and postdocs up to two years after completion of their PhD) interested in any area of the history of healthcare. Preference will be given to applicants from Inclusiveness Target Countries. Participants are encouraged to present ongoing projects or share concerns, concepts, methodologies or perspectives that inform their research.
