[LCC] CFP: 2010 Annual Meeting of the American Association for the History of Medicine

[North, Michael (NIH/NLM) [E]]

Note from poster: At last year's conference there was a dearth of papers relating to ancient medicine.  The AAHM is a prestigious organization and casts a wide net in terms of subject areas, including papers on gender, sexuality, biology, and medicine in literature.  Please consider submitting an abstract if you are working on a related topic.- Michael North

******************************************
The American Association for the History of Medicine (AAHM) invites submissions in any area of medical history for its 83rd annual meeting, to be held in Rochester, Minnesota, April 29 through May 2, 2010. The Association welcomes submissions on the history of health and healing; history of medical ideas, practices, and institutions; and histories of illness, disease, and public health. Submissions from all eras and regions of the world are welcome. In addition to single-paper proposals, the Program Committee accepts abstracts for sessions and for luncheon workshops. Please alert the Program Committee Chair if you are planning a session proposal. Individual papers for these submissions will be judged on their own merits.

Presentations are limited to 20 minutes. Individuals wishing to present a paper must attend the meeting. All papers must represent original work not already published or in press. Because the Bulletin of the History of Medicine is the official journal of the AAHM, the Association encourages speakers to make their manuscripts available for consideration by the Bulletin.

The AAHM uses an online abstract submissions system. We encourage all applicants to use this convenient software. A link for submissions will be posted to the website at http://histmed.org. If you are unable to submit proposals online, send eight copies of a one-page abstract (350 words maximum) to the Program Committee Chair,
