Event: Pennsylvania Medical Humanities Consortium
September 17, 2010
Pennsylvania Medical Humanities Consortium
Temple University School of Medicine, 3500 N. Broad St, Philadelphia, PA
April 15 * 16, 2011
Call for proposal deadline: January 31, 2011
To explore this year’s theme, The Story of Health and Illness in Urban America, we are seeking abstracts of papers as well as proposals for panels, workshops, readings and performances that examine topics relevant to medicine and health care, preferably in the context of an urban environment. The approach should represent the orientation of at least one of the medical humanities (e.g. history, literature, art, bioethics, philosophy, religious studies, disabilities studies, sociology, psychology, gender studies, and anthropology). Proposals should be of interest to a general audience (e.g. healthcare providers, humanities scholars, laypersons, students), and serve as a departure point for lively discussion.
Additional information regarding the meeting will be forthcoming, and registration will open in mid-January. For general inquiries about submissions or the meeting itself, or to be added to our mailing list, please contact the planning committee at [email protected].
