Call for Papers, 2002 Annual Meeting

The American Association for the History of Medicine invites submissions on any area of medical history for its 75th annual meeting, to be held in Kansas City, Missouri, April 25-28, 2002. The Association welcomes papers on topics related to the history of health and healing; of medical ideas, practices, and institutions; and of illness, disease, and public health, from all eras and regions of the world. In addition to single paper proposals, the program committee welcomes proposals for sessions and luncheon workshops; individual papers for those sessions will be judged on their own merits. 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. Send six copies of a one-page abstract (350 words maximum) to Prof. Nancy Tomes, History Department, SUNY at Stony Brook, Stony Brook, NY 11794-4348. Abstracts should clearly state findings and conclusions as well as research questions. They should also provide the following information on the same sheet: name, preferred mailing address, work and home telephone numbers, e-mail address, present institutional affiliation, and academic degrees. Abstracts must be received by 15 September 2001. E-mail or faxed proposals will not be accepted.
