Pharmaceuticals in Historical Context Conference--Madison, WI
Registration Open
2nd Madison Medicines Conference
Pharmaceuticals in Historical Context
Madison, WI
22-23 October 2010
• Preliminary Program and Conference Registration Available at http://www.aihp.org
Pharmaceuticals—whether from natural sources or research laboratories—have been central to the treatment of disease throughout human history. The conference theme places medicines into social, political, economic, and philosophical context using the tools of history.
The keynote panel "Mapping the Differences: European Drug Ecologies in the 20th Century" will discuss some of the recent issues that have arisen in the European scientific community. Funded by the European Science Foundation, a large network of scholars has been established linking working groups throughout Europe. Recent research within this joint research program has concluded that the European ecologies in the history of drugs seem to differ in a few but remarkable aspects from the models presented in the standard historiography. In order to contrast these differences, these issues will be presented to North American researchers at this conference.
Papers will be presented in plenary sessions over two days in a workshop-style format that seeks to foster and reflect the growing body of pharmaceutical scholarship across historical disciplines. The Preliminary Program and the Registration Form for the Conference can be found at www.aihp.org. The registration fee of $135 includes all Conference materials as well as continental breakfast, lunch, and dinner on Saturday, 23 October. The conference will be held in 2002 Rennebohm Hall, UW School of Pharmacy.
Co-Sponsored by the American Institute of the History of Pharmacy and the UW School of Pharmacy
Organized by the Pharmaceuticals History & Policy Center
