Call for Papers

Pharmaceuticals in Historical Context

The American Institute of the History of Pharmacy invites submissions for the 2nd Madison Medicines Conference, “Pharmaceuticals in Historical Context,” to be held 22-23 October 2010.

Pharmaceuticals – whether from natural sources or research laboratories – have been central to the treatment of disease throughout human history. The conference organizers welcome proposals for 20-minute papers that address the theme of placing medicines into the social, political, economic, or philosophical context of any era or place using the tools of history.

Papers will be presented in plenary sessions over the two days in a workshop-style conference that seeks to foster and reflect the growing body of pharmaceutical scholarship across historical disciplines.

Newer scholars are especially encouraged to submit abstracts. Some travel funds will be available for graduate students, and established scholars interested in using the scholarly resources of the American Institute of the History of Pharmacy can apply for travel funds through the Sonnedecker Visiting Scholar Program (www.aihp.org).


Send abstracts of up to 250 words to: 2010Conference@aihp.org by 15 April 2010. Abstracts should include the title of the paper, information concerning the research question examined, the sources used and preliminary results. Please also include your contact details (name, affiliation, e-mail-address). All papers are to represent original work not already published.

Co-Sponsored by the American Institute of the History of Pharmacy and the UW School of Pharmacy • Organized by the UW Pharmaceutical History & Policy Center.
