Dear All,

The 3rd International Conference on Historical Medical Discourse (Chimed-3) will take place in London, 11-12th May, 2023.

Initiated in Milan in 2017, the Chined conference series focuses on multidisciplinary research into European historical medical discourse. We welcome studies drawing from linguistics, literary studies and history – among others – to present a comprehensive and well-rounded view of medical discourse in Europe. The third conference focuses on medical discourse in English in the period 1500–1900. Studies may be either synchronic or diachronic, and a long view may stretch even beyond that main frame of time. In accordance with the multidisciplinary aims of the conference series, we encourage papers that approach medical discourse from different methodological and disciplinary perspectives, though papers based on corpus analyses are very welcome. The language of the conference is English.

We invite submissions for presentations of 30 minutes (20 min. + 10 min. discussion). Abstracts of no more than 500 words (excluding references) should be submitted via email to a.mcenery@lancaster.ac.ukmailto:a.mcenery@lancaster.ac.uk with the subject line ‘Chimed-3’. Abstract submissions are due by Monday 16th January 2023.
