CALL FOR PAPERS
Therapy and Empowerment - Coercion and Punishment
*Historical Perspectives on Work and Occupational Therapy
International Research Symposium
This conference aims to provide a platform for exchange
to scholars who are working on varied aspects of labour and occupation in
relation to the history of health and medicine broadly conceived. The idea is
to encourage critical engagement with the various medical, social and political
factors implicated in how work and occupational therapy developed within
specific national and clinical contexts and at different periods. Comparative
approaches and contributions focusing on transnational exchanges are
particularly welcome, as are those concerned with pre-modern and non-European
developments. Rigorously contextualised case studies of specific institutions
and approaches are also sought.
Compensation for travel expenditure and local hospitality
during the conference is aimed at but cannot be guaranteed.
The closing date for abstracts (300 words) is *10**
January 2013*. Please indicate the primary source base of your contribution in
your abstract.
