Dear colleagues, This is just a quick note with the call for papers for the 3rd iteration of the undergraduate conference in Science, Technology, Medicine and Society. Monica was the first keynote for the conference; Jorge Cañizares-Esguerra the second; and this year the keynote will be a medical anthropologist, Sherine Hamdy. We absolutely would love students working on medieval medicine. One of the best papers over the past two years was one on sex and gender in medieval medicine from a student from Allegheny College. We now have a Facebook page set up (linked in the CfP below). Please share as widely as possible and encourage your students to apply.
