CFP: Expertise in Medicine and the Human Sciences during the 20th Century in Europe and Beyond

Deadline: December 15, 2023

Prague 16-18 May 2024

Expertise shapes modern societies, and the issues of health and normalcy form their core. That is why analyzing the disciplines of medicine and the human sciences – such as psychology, sociology, demography, and pedagogy – is helpful in understanding how modern societies function and change. There has been increasing interest in socialist expertise in recent years, and our research project, ExpertTurn, is part of that growing scholarly community. We focus on the human science expertise in East-Central Europe from comparative and transnational perspectives. We want to broaden our scope spatially and temporally during our conference. Thus, we call for papers analyzing human science expertise that circulated in Europe, whether it originated there or elsewhere, during the short 20th century (approximately from the interwar period to post-socialism, the 1920s-1990s). We encourage papers seeking connections across the borders of disciplines, countries, and time periods.

CFP: Transformations of Postwar Europe: Medicine, Bodies, and Technologies

Deadline: October 31, 2023

CALL FOR PAPERS
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
“TRANSFORMATIONS OF POSTWAR EUROPE: MEDICINE, BODIES AND
TECHNOLOGIES”

Dates: 28 – 30 May 2024
Location: Sofia, Bulgaria

Download PDF document: HERE

The postwar era was marked by the rapid growth of technologies that developed in different social, economic, and political contexts on both sides of the Iron Curtain. Was this development dependent on the specific contexts and how? Or, was it a universal tendency establishing itself regardless of the ideological settings? Did technology playback on ideology? Could it reshape political utopias and institutional practices? The conference aims to explore the transformation of post-war Europe through the lens of medicine, care and related technologies, thus contributing to a deeper understanding of the changing concept of care and hence the changes in relationships between the individual, the society, and the state. Based on the assumptions of the ERC-funded LEVIATHAN project, the emphasis is on the interconnectedness of Europe, on the entangled history that involves different forms of interaction – intersections, exchanges, competition, conflicts – between “the blocs”, between different societies and states.
