24e colloque de la SAHMS

24th Annual Southern Association for the History of Medicine and Science (SAHMS) Conference​

Call for papers

March 10-12, 2022
Emory University (Atlanta, GA)

The deadline for submissions is Monday, November 8, 2021. The Program Committee will notify you as to whether your paper is accepted no later than January 15, 2022.

SAHMS is seeking paper submissions for its 2022 conference. We welcome work from students (including undergraduate, graduate, medical, and health sciences professional students), professors, medical professionals, and independent scholars with an academic interest in the history of science and/or medicine.
Submissions from all fields related to the historical understanding of science, medicine, nursing, health care, and the medical and health science professions, as well as closely related topics, including issues related to science, medicine, race, disabilities, sustainability, environment, technology, and gender studies, are welcome.

Papers concerning all historical periods and global perspectives are encouraged.
​
Participants may propose individual papers, panels of several papers on a theme, or round table sessions.

If you are proposing a panel, please provide the title, and a list of all proposed authors and titles in one proposal; secondly, each author will need to individually submit their own proposal for consideration in the panel. SAHMS reserves the right to reject individual papers or the entire panel topic, or to add thematically related papers to the panel as our scheduling needs dictate.

Each presentation is limited to 20 minutes, with ten minutes for questions and discussion. Please do not submit papers that have already been published or presented. SAHMS will not accept more than one paper from a given primary author for presentation.

All participants and attendees are responsible for paying conference registration fees.

All of our 2022 conference sessions and events will be held in person, but the organizers will evaluate the situation closer to the conference date. Presented papers may also be published in the conference’s proceedings or invited for submission to the organization’s journal. Graduate students are encouraged to apply and will have their paper considered for the SAHMS Best Graduate Student Paper Award.

Call for Panelists: The Southern Association for the History of Medicine and Science is seeking panelists for its annual roundtable, SAHMS in the Classroom. This panel is dedicated to the presentation of teaching strategies, activities, and resources for educators. We welcome small-scale and large-scale topics, though we lean more toward the practical than the theoretical. If you teach the history of medicine, science or technology at the undergraduate or graduate level and would like to talk about some facet of your teaching, please consider submitting a topic or an idea for the session. Group presentations with students are also welcome. Please direct inquiries and submissions to Belle Tuten at tuten@juniata.edu.
