This meeting (18th May 2007) is jointly held with the British Society for the History of Child Health and Paediatrics at the University of Manchester. The workshop aims to bring together the different constituencies that study the history of children’s health, who are rarely afforded opportunities to share meaningful dialogue: sociologists, historians and practicing pediatricians. It is our intention to provide a valuable forum through which concepts, methods and ideas can be exchanged, discussed and debated.
Keynote Speakers:
Hilary Marland, University of Warwick, ‘Fragile adolescence?’: Girls, health and medical advice in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries
Mary Dixon-Woods, University of Leicester, ‘Why history matters’: childhood cancer tumour banking and the making of a community
