CONFERENCE REMINDER: HISTORY AND THE HEALTHY POPULATION: SOCIETY, GOVERNMENT, HEALTH AND MEDICINE,
GLASGOW, 3-5TH SEPTEMBER 2008
Organised by the Centre for the Social History of Health and Healthcare Glasgow, a collaboration
between the University of Strathclyde and Glasgow Caledonian University, and the Centre for the
History of Medicine at the University of Glasgow, the conference aims not simply to showcase the
latest research but to provide the opportunity to meet colleagues and to develop ideas.
With over 150 papers, speakers from Asia, Africa, Australasia, North America and Europe, and three
days of events, this year’s meeting of the Society for the Social History of Medicine is the
largest history of medicine event hosted in the UK. The conference will embrace all historical
perspectives on the broad issue of how health has been defined and by whom. Social events include a
reception in Glasgow’s City Chambers and the conference dinner at the Hunterian Museum.
