Health, Medicine, and Society: Challenge and Change

The 2017 conference theme ‘health, medicine and society: challenge and change’ offers a broad canvas for papers on the history of health and medicine, from local to global, from ancient to modern.
Submissions are welcome on, but not limited to, topics such as:
- disciplines and practice
- gender; language; biography
- disease and epidemics; migration
- the arts
- innovations; technology
- material culture and collecting
- war and reconstruction
- place and the built environment
- indigenous peoples
- policy and politics; law and ethics
- wine and food as therapeutics
- impact of social and economic pressures
We encourage papers that challenge accepted narratives of health and medical history, and/or address
the impact of change.
