Prosopography and Healthcare. (360G-Wellcome-101943_Z_13_Z)

£900

A one day workshop hosted by Kingston University on the use of prosopography in the history of healthcare. Use of prosopography by healthcare historians is growing and the organisers (who have all used prosopography in their own research) decided to stage an event where this powerful research methodology can be discussed. The workshop will provide a platform for both experienced and early-career researchers. It will be split into three sections: for established projects, early career/PhD projec ts and a roundtable which will include contributions from archivists interested in opening up their healthcare archives to this approach. The programme is finalised and includes papers with an international scope: early modern medical community in England and Wales (a Wellcome funded research project), early psychiatry in Soviet Russia, healthcare in the slaveholding American South, Danish nursing Deaconesses, and a study of Fellows of the International Health Division of Rockefeller Foundation in Brazil. They include studies of medicine, nursing and veterinary science. While the subjects are diverse, they share a methodology and participants have been asked to focus on their use of prosopography, rather than the outcomes of their research. It is hoped to publish the papers in a special issue of a journal.
