Apologies for this re-send but the first message got scrambled.
Following a very successful Call for Papers earlier this year, this Joint
Symposium will take place in November and aims to further research and
study into the history of medicine and pharmacy by exploring many different
aspects of health and sickness in Georgian England.
APOTHECARIES, ART AND ARCHITECTURE: INTERPRETING GEORGIAN MEDICINE
A Joint Symposium in honour of Roy Porter
Thursday 24 - Friday 25 November 2005
This is a joint venture organised by the Faculty of the History and
Philosophy of Medicine and Pharmacy of the Worshipful Society of
Apothecaries of London and Dr Johnson's House. It is being held in honour
of the late Professor Roy Porter, one of the most prolific and accessible
historians of medicine, with support from the Society for the Social
History of Medicine.
Two full days of presentations will take place at Apothecaries' Hall in
Blackfriars in the City of London, and there will be a reception at Dr
Johnson's House on the evening of 24 November. An excellent programme has
been put together with nearly 40 speakers from pre-eminent departments in
universities, colleges, museums, archives and historical societies from all
over the UK and the USA.
Full details of the Symposium are available online via the Society of
Apothecaries' website www.apothecaries.org where there is a link on the
homepage to the Symposium page where the flyer, programme and registration
form can be viewed and downloaded.
