Call for Papers
The Journal of the History of Medicine is a peer review journal of the
history of
medicine and related fields of inquiry. The Journal seeks manuscripts
across a
broad range of topics in medical history and related subjects. While
recognizing
the value of medical history as historically conceptualized, the Journal also
encourages papers that cross-disciplinary fields, traditional international
boundaries, and historiographic categories.
Submissions in the following areas are particularly welcome:
The history of scientific discoveries that have changed medical thinking and
practice across human history. The vast transition of medicine and science
in the last 100 years offers a particularly fertile field for interpretation,
chronicle, and explanation.
The history of health and medicine, broadly defined, to include the
history of the body, the individual's experience of healing both within
and without the orthodox medical profession, and the role of
traditional caregivers. Analyses of race, class, and gender as pertinent
to medical history are especially sought. The perspectives of medical
anthropology, medical ethics, literary criticism, and cultural studies may
all enrich such manuscripts.
Historical epidemiology. The analysis of past waves of disease using
traditional historical tools as well as the techniques of medical demography,
geography, modern epidemiology, and genetic markers.
Historical accounts of the organization, regulation, and funding of health
care, medical research, and public health practice. Such topics include the
history of public health policy, regulation of medical practice, medical
education, health insurance, research institutions, and military medicine.
Twentieth century medicine in the developed world has come to be dominated
by vast institutions such as hospitals, government-funded medical research,
mega-pharmaceutical companies, health insurance companies, and public
health infrastructure. Understanding the processes that brought such
changes may require tools of economics, public policy analysis, science
studies, political science and sociology. Papers with a strong historical
component but concomitant use of such tools and approaches are encouraged.
