The
UK
Association for the History of Nursing Colloquium will be
held on 4 July
2013 at the Lecture Theatre, Faculty of History,
University of Oxford, George Street, Oxford OX1 2RL. This year’s theme will
explore the ‘History
of Colonial and Post-Colonial Nursing’.
The history of nursing presents a unique
perspective from which to
interrogate colonialism and post-colonialism. Simultaneously,
viewing nursing’s
development under colonial and post-colonial rule can reveal the
different
faces of what, on the surface, may appear to be a profession
that is consistent
and coherent yet in reality has many different faces and is
constantly in the
process of reinventing itself. Considering such areas as
transnational
relationships, class, gender, race and politics, this colloquium
aims to present
current work in progress within this field to better understand
the complex
entanglements in the development of nursing as it was imagined
and practised in
local imperial, colonial and post-colonial contexts. The
colloquium will be led
by Dr Helen Sweet and will be opened with a keynote
paper on the
colloquium’s theme by Professor Anne Marie Rafferty.
N.B.
As
this promises to be a particularly popular colloquium, and the
audience
capacity is strictly limited to a maximum of 60 people, places
will be
allocated on a strictly ‘first come, first served’ basis so you
are strongly
advised to book early!
Price: £20 for non-students and
£10 for
students. All enquiries

A variety of accommodation is available in
