'Made Up People': An Interdisciplinary Approach to Labelling and the Construction of People in Post-War History. (360G-Wellcome-101902_Z_13_Z)

£2,525

I am seeking funding for a one-day conference to be held at the University of Warwick in October 2013. The aim of this conference is to situate labelling theory, as conceptualised by philosopher of science Ian Hacking, in his work on 'Making Up People' (1986). The conference will focus on the significance of this theoretical model for history of medicine in the post-war era. Hacking has agreed to speak but would need to be flown over from Canada. The funding will make this possible. A number of other speakers have also been secured. The conference will be interdisciplinary in orientation.
