L'histoire de la médecine

Chest medical humanities section

Call for papers

The journal Chest invites articles for a new medical humanities section, including short pieces on the history of medicine. The rest of the editorial board and I are excited to hear about any proposal you might have. Please contact me if you have any interest in contributing, and please feel free to share this message widely.



Call for papers for the history of medicine subsection (“Consilia historiae”):

CHEST invites submissions in the history of medicine, health, and disease and welcomes papers having to do with any era or region. Authors are encouraged to define their approach broadly to include not just the history of medical ideas or practices, but to highlight key determinants of human experience such as law, economy, nature, or class. Potential objects of inquiry can be construed just as broadly, to be a particular physician or patient, a drug or a disease, a medical instrument or even an environmental contaminant.



Abstract length - 250 words, narrative format
