Society for the Social History of Medicine Postgraduate Conference

The Society for the Social History of Medicine in association with the Centre for the History of Medicine in Ireland, University College Dublin/University of Ulster is calling for papers for this conference.

From the website:

“We invite proposals for papers and panels exploring aspects of the theme ‘Medicine and Healthcare: History and Context’ in all its historical manifestations. The aim of the SSHM postgraduate conference is to draw together students from established Wellcome Trust Centres and attract students studying the history of medicine within different academic environments. To this end, papers will contextualize the history of medicine and healthcare in political, military and policy history, economic and social history, local, national and global history, and the history of work and professionalisation.

300-word proposals should be sent to pgconf@sshm.org before 30 November 2008.

General enquiries about the conference can be directed to Catherine Cox or Rosemary Wall at pgconf@sshm.org”
