Health and Medicine
In September 2013 the University
of Saskatchewan will host the Society for the Social History of Medicine (SSHM)
Postgraduate/Early Career Conference in conjunction with the 4th Manitoba-Northwest
Ontario-Minnesota-Saskatchewan (MOMS) History of Medicine Conference. This conference marks the first occasion upon
which the SSHM Postgraduate Conference will be held in Canada and hosted by the
newest institution to join the MOMS community—the University of Saskatchewan.
Highlighting both
organizations’ commitment to crossing borders, whether regional or
disciplinary, the theme of the 2013 conference is “Connections and Communities
in Health and Medicine.” The conference
will provide graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty the opportunity
to present papers that consider issues in the history of medicine including,
but not limited to professionalization; medical research, technologies and institutions;
and networks in health and medicine. Submissions
from all eras and regions of the world are welcomed, as are submissions from
various disciplinary perspectives.
Individual and panel proposals
(3-4 papers) are invited and will be peer reviewed. Please submit an abstract (no more than 300
words) and a one-page curriculum vitae
with contact information to Katherine Zwicker, katherine.zwicker@usask.ca. For
programming purposes, please indicate if you are a member of one of the MOMS
institutions. Deadline for submissions
is April 30th, 2013. We hope to notify participants by the end of
May.
*Though yet to be
determined, travel assistance may be available for student participants.
