CfP: History of Pharmacy and Pharmaceuticals

We welcome contributions from historians as well as scholars working in adjacent disciplines, including science and technology studies, sociology, anthropology, legal studies, and related areas. Unless otherwise specified, submissions may address any geographical region or historical period. 

Upcoming themed issue topics (see below for more information about each):

  • Drugs, Pharma, and the American State
  • Minds and Medicines

Potential contributors are encouraged to interpret these themes broadly. We are particularly interested in work that situates pharmaceuticals, medicines, and drugs within larger questions such as those involving power, regulation, consumerism, activism, identity, inequality, and everyday experience. 

If you have a manuscript that fits one of these themes, you are invited to submit it through our submission manager between now and September 1. Scholars working on projects in progress are also welcome to submit abstracts for consideration by July 15. The editorial team will review abstract submissions on a rolling basis and follow up with additional guidance and potential full submission timelines. Please indicate in your cover letter which themed issue you are responding to.
