Centre for the Social History of Health and Healthcare, Glasgow, 18-19 June 2015
The CSHHH was established in 2005 as a collaborative venture between historians at Glasgow Caledonian and Strathclyde Universities. Our activities focus on the way in which health, medicine, medical science have developed over time and have come to shape our contemporary experience [see http://www.gcu.ac.uk/cshhh ]. As part of a programme of events to celebrate its tenth anniversary, the Centre is staging a two-day conference in June on a theme which has guided much of its research over the past decade and which was the title of its Wellcome Trust Enhancement Grant: ‘Health, Healthcare and Society: Environment, Markets, Lifecycle and Location’.
Keynote speakers
Professor Linda Bryder, University of Auckland
Professor John Stewart, CSHHH Glasgow
Call for papers
The aim of this conference is to examine the historical relationship between health and the provision of healthcare in the broader society; to consider how the historical development of healthcare has shaped current healthcare provisions and dilemmas, and to explore how we might engage different audiences with this history. We invite proposals which explore the following issues:
- What is the impact of the environment on individual and collective health and what responses does this elicit?
- How is healthcare provision, in the shape of drugs and pharmaceuticals and institutions such as hospitals, shaped by wider socio-economic factors?
- What are the medical and cultural responses to issues surrounding specific points in the lifecycle?
- What impact does geographical location – whether in the former colonies or in Scotland – have on health and healthcare?
Submissions (up to 500 words) should be sent to e.newlands@strath.ac.uk by Friday 24 April 2015.
