Registration for our upcoming conference, Medicine and Modernity in the Long Nineteenth Century to be held on 10th and 11th September at St Anne’s College, Oxford, is now open, and links to the full programme and registration page can be found here:
In this two day interdisciplinary conference, hosted by the ERC project Diseases of Modern Life: Nineteenth Century Perspectives,
we will explore the phenomena of stress and overload, and other
disorders associated with the problems of modernity in the long
nineteenth century, as expressed in the literature, science, and
medicine of the period. By tracing the connections drawn between
physiological, psychological and social health, or disease in the era,
we aim to offer new ways of contextualising the problems of modernity
facing us in the twenty-first century. We are particularly interested in
comparative perspectives on these issues from international viewpoints.
Keynote Speakers: Professor Laura Otis (Emory College of Arts and Sciences) and Professor Christopher Hamlin (University of Notre Dame)
