Dear all,
The following call for papers was just forwarded to me - the links between
medical history and ethnobotany might make this conference interesting to
some of us...
Best regards,

MEDICA VII. International Interdisciplinary Conference People vs the Natural
and the Artificial. Power relations
Time: 09-10 April 2010
Place: Tartu, Estonia
Dear colleagues,
we kindly invite you to participate in the 7th International
Interdisciplinary Conference Medica. The general aim of our annual meetings
has been to analyze public and self-referential representations of health
and illness in various contexts and to bring together local and
international scholars in order to build up a sustainable network for future
discussions and co-work. The 7th conference concentrates on power relations
in medical context(s). This time we particularly look forward to papers
dealing with power issues and the panel discussions are going to follow
these three broad themes:
- Ethnobotanics
- Techniques and Technologies
- Illness Narratives
We warmly welcome scholars interested in medical folkloristics,
ethnomedicine, medical or cultural anthropology, ethnobiology,
ethnobotanics, illness narratives, and other related subjects (cf
Attachment).
The registration and thesis deadline (300 words max.) is 17 February 2010.
We invite you to register on the conference homepage:

The conference is organized by the Department of Folkloristics of the
Estonian Literary Museum and the Estonian Folklore Institute.
Please kindly forward this CFP to whom it may concern.
With kind regards,
Piret Paal
