Hello Histarchers,
Just to send out another last call:
My colleagues Hannah Moots ([log in to unmask]), David Pickel ([log in to unmask]), Bright Zhou ([log in to unmask]) and I are organizing a session for the 2017 SAA Conference in Vancouver, titled "Archaeological Perspectives Towards Medicine and Global Health". While the abstract might suggest a focus on biology, genetics and disease ecology, we are very interested in a wide variety of perspectives towards medical practices and global health. We welcome submissions presenting topics that include, but are not limited to:
-culturally contextualized and historically situated perspectives towards the body, health and disease
-phenomenology and the embodied experience of disease
-social politics of medicine
-the materiality of medical practice
-osteological, ecological and genetic investigations relating to health and disease
-proposals for novel methodological and theoretical approaches to the investigation of health and physical well-being
-suggestions for the potential contributions of archaeological analyses to contemporary global health discourse (especially as it pertains to treatment, research, and policy)
We invite your comments and feedback, and look forward to having the opportunity to collaborate with you all in Vancouver this coming spring!
