Subject: WORKSHOP: Early modern medical consumption, 11 Jan 2013
Workshop: Europe's Medical Revolutions. Markets and Medicine in Early
Modern Europe
Friday 11 January 2013. 13.00-18.00
London School of Economics, London, WC2A 2AE
This workshop focuses on a fundamental question for historians of
medicine: when and why did most people start to look beyond their family
and neighbours for medical care?
Using a range of different sources, speakers will analyse developments
in the consumption of medical services in early modern France, the
Netherlands and Venice, and in eighteenth-century England.
The papers present new evidence of continuity or change in demand for
healthcare and in the types of provision the sick employed in different
periods, with a focus on estimating changes in the level and
characteristics of medical consumption over the long-run in different
parts of Europe.

Subject: Correction: Deadline 22 Nov: CFP Leonardo da Vinci and the history of science (ICHSTM/LdVSoc, Manchester 2113)
Correction: the deadline for abstracts is Thursday, 22 November (not the 28th):
Call for papers for a symposium : Leonardo da Vinci and the history of science
On the behalf of the Leonardo da Vinci Society, we invite essays for a symposium on Leonardo and the history of science at the 24th International Congress of History of Science, Technology and Medicine, 22 - 28 July 2013 (http://www.ichstm2013.com).
Leonardo has often had an ambiguous treatment from historians. Historians of art have rarely dealt with anything that looked to them so 'scientific' and historians of science have rarely dealt with diagrams that are so beguilingly beautiful. These difficulties are partly caused by the narrow specialisms of our day. In recent years some bridges have been built and the emergence of a healthier body of literature on Leonardo offers some opportunities to historians of science to integrate him into a viable image of the natural philosophy, mathematics, medicine and technology of his time - and, of course, to assess his possible contributions to what happened next. Possible topics for the meeting include: the influence of practice, towards a science of engineering, the workings of patronage, manuscript in an age of printing, what price publish or perish? Confirmed speakers: J. V. Field (What the craftsmen taught the scholars), Martin Kemp (Science in the Codex Leicester), Matthew Landrus (Leonardo's engineering).
By Thursday, 22 November, please forward an abstract of less than 2500 characters to the symposium organisers: Dr J. V. Field, [log in to unmask], and Dr Matthew Landrus, [log in to unmask]
One version of the abstract and title must be in English or French, though a second version of the title and abstract in an alternate preferred language may be included in German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Russian, or Arabic. In addition to the abstract, please include your full name, institution (or "independent scholar"), postal address, email address, and a CV. If you might require presentation media other than an LCD projector and Windows PC with Powerpoint media, please also note this with the proposal.
