Call for Papers: Society for the History of Navy Medicine Panels at the September 2013 U S Naval Academy McMullen History Symposium

2013 Naval History Symposium

September 19, 2013-September 20, 2013  United States Naval Academy Annapolis, Maryland

The Society for the History of Navy Medicine issues its call for papers for the September 2013 U S Naval Academy McMullen History Symposium

Two years ago, the Society mounted two very successful panels in the history of naval medicine – itself an historical event. Expecting to build on this early success, the Society seeks paper proposals on any aspect of the history of navy or maritime medicine. Graduate and professional students are especially encouraged to submit because the Society offers $750 travel grants to these authors if their papers are accepted for impanelment; but we invite and encourage submissions from academics at all levels and lay authors as well.

We request electronic submission of a 500 – 1000 word proposal and a brief bio. Send these to Society Executive Director Captain Tom Snyder at historyofnavymedicine@gmail.com. Our submission deadline is 5 January.

Papers will be reviewed by our Papers Selection Board. Accepted papers will be arranged into panels which are then submitted to naval Academy Symposium organizers; their deadline is 5 February 2013. We will announce our panels by 31 January 2013. The Naval Academy announces successful panel submissions typically by early summer.
