The Centre for History in Public Health, London School of

European
Association for the History of Medicine and Health invites the
submission
of abstracts and poster proposals for a conference to be held in
central
London in September 2007.
Among the themes of the conference will be:
* environmental history and health history

* health and the urban environment
* health and the rural environment
* the environment, public and private space
* the environment and the individual in health
* the environment and public health

* the environment, nature and health
* art, health and the environment
* the environment and the ancients - airs waters and places
* the environment and the nature - culture discussion
* the environment and occupational health
However, these themes are not exclusive and the Association and
its
Scientific Board will be happy to receive proposals on any topic
relevant
to the overall theme of the conference.
How to submit a proposal.
A 300 word abstract with the title of the paper
and paper giver's name is required. Submission of sessions of
3-4 people,
with or without a session chair are also encouraged. However,
the EAHMH
Board reserves the right to revise these sessions, including the
chair. A
proposed paper giver should not also double as a session chair.
Separate
poster proposals are also encouraged. We would really like to
see such
proposals and a poster exhibition reception and poster prize
presentation
will be timetabled into the conference.
Abstracts and other proposals should be submitted to Ingrid
James
ingrid.james@lshtm.ac.uk preferably by e mail attachment by 17
November
2006.
The proposal will be considered by the EAHMH Scientific Board
and
presenters will hear if their abstract/poster or session has
been accepted
by the end of January 2007.
Registration for the conference
Registration details for the conference will be available from
early 2007.
We plan to have special rates for members of the association and
of the
Society for the Social History of Medicine, with whom we are
collaborating. We also plan special low rates to allow Ph.D
students to
attend, along with a limited number of travel bursaries.
Further details of plenary speakers and conference events will
be posted
in the follwing months.
