CFP: ASA/SDS panel on suicide and disability (Puerto Rico/Denver)

Kathleen Brian, PhD student at the George Washington University, sent us the following Call for paper:

I’m hoping to form a panel on suicide and disability, broadly conceived, for the 2012 annual meeting of either the American Studies Association (San Juan, November 15-18) or  the Society for Disability Studies (Denver, June 20-23).

While assisted suicide is a long-established problem for those working in the field of disability studies, these scholars have been more reticent about the topics of suicide attempted/ accomplished by the individual, and the intersection of rhetorics of suicide and disability. This panel (as currently conceptualized) seeks to create a conversation around the latter two, though I also am happy to consider proposals that shed new light on the problem of assisted suicide.

Interested individuals may contact me off-list at kmbrian@gwmail.gwu.edu.

CfP: Edited Volume on the History of Psychiatry in Communist Europe

We invite proposals for chapters to appear in an edited volume on the
history of psychiatry in Communist Europe.  Proposals on any topic of
psychiatric history during the Communist era are welcomed and should
initially take the form of a short 500 word abstract.

The history of psychiatry is one of the most dynamic and well-researched
fields within the broader history of medicine.  Despite the abundance of
work done in this regard, scholarly investigations of the psychiatric
developments within Eastern Europe and the former USSR remain relatively
rare.   The work that has been done, meanwhile, overwhelmingly
concentrates on the political misuse of psychiatry within Russia.

This volume seeks to contribute to the wider fields of medical history and
the history of Communism more generally.  It is interested in compiling
research on psychiatry outside of the abuse paradigm but also welcomes
contributions that approach the question of political misuse from novel
angles.  “Psychiatry” in this usage can be loosely defined and could
include topics related to abnormal or clinical psychology, psychiatric
nursing, neurology, or any other aspect of mental illness.  Interested
contributors are requested to send a 500 word abstract to the editors
outlining the key aspects of their proposed chapter.

The deadline for proposals is October 1, 2011.

Please contact:

Call for Papers – Graphic Medicine: Visualizing the Stigma of Illness. Comics Forum, Leeds Art Gallery. November 17, 2011

This one-day interdisciplinary conference aims to explore medical narrative in graphic novels and comics with an emphasis on the stigma of illness, disease or disability, both physical and mental. A subgenre of graphic narrative known as graphic medicine is emerging as a field of interest to both scholars and creators of comics, and members of the healthcare professions are beginning to turn to comics as a source of illness narratives and documents of the patient and carer experience.

We invite proposals for scholarly papers (20 minutes) or panel discussions (60 minutes), focused on medicine and comics in any form (e.g. graphic novels, comic strips, graphic pathographies, manga, and/or web comics) on the following—and related—topics: notions of stigma in graphic pathographies of illness and disability; the use of comics to explain, highlight and eradicate stigma; the use of comics in patient care; the interface of graphic medicine and other visual arts in popular culture; ethical implications of patient representation in comics by healthcare providers; trends in international use of comics in healthcare settings; the role of comics in provider/patient communication; comics as a virtual support group for patients and caregivers; the use of comics in bioethics discussions and educationContributions are sought from humanities scholars, comics scholars,
healthcare professionals, comics enthusiasts, writers and cartoonists.

300 word proposals for a 20 minute paper should be submitted by
18/07/2011 to submissions@graphicmedicine.org and notice of
acceptance or rejection may be expected by 1/8/2011

Abstracts may be in Word, WordPerfect, or RTF formats, following this
order: author(s), affiliation, email address, title of abstract, body of
abstract.  All proposals submitted will receive and acknowledgement. Abstracts
will be blind peer reviewed.

Drs. Columba Quigley, Maria Vaccarella and Ian Williams
