Call for Papers - Deadline 30th November
SSHM Postgraduate Conference
16 - 18 April 2009
Medicine and Healthcare: History and Context
University College Dublin
We invite proposals for papers and panels exploring aspects of the theme ‘Medicine and
Healthcare: History and Context’ in all its historical manifestations. The aim of the SSHM
postgraduate conference is to draw together students from established Wellcome Trust Centres and
also attract students studying the history of medicine within different academic environments. To
this end, papers will contextualize the history of medicine and healthcare in political, military
and policy history, economic and social history, local, national and global history, and the history
of work and professionalisation.
300-word proposals should be sent to [log in to unmask] before 30 November 2008.
General enquiries about the conference can be directed to Catherine Cox or Rosemary Wall at
