CfP: Southern Association for the History of Medicine and Science

SAHMS invites submissions for papers in the history of science, medicine, and nursing for the 28th annual meeting of the SAHMS, to be held at the Arkansas Colleges of Health Education in Fort Smith, Arkansas. We welcome submissions from students, professors, health care professionals, and independent scholars with an academic interest in the history of science, medicine, or nursing. We particularly encourage submissions that increase the methodological, thematic, chronological and geographical diversity of the history of science, medicine, and related fields. We also welcome librarians, archivists, and teachers to propose papers related to archives and collections, public history, and/or pedagogy. Despite the “Southern” component of our organizational name, papers need not focus on regional topics. 

Submissions must include an abstract of no more than 350 words. Abstracts are due November 21, 2025. The Program Committee will notify you as to whether your paper has been accepted by the end of the year.
