>Health Rights in Global Historical Perspective: Call For Papers
>
>Conference at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, 
>London, UK, 17-18 February 2011
>
>The idea that individuals have rights within the context of health 
>has deep roots.  The right to health was amongst the 'rights of man' 
>established during the French Revolution and patients' rights and 
>doctors' duties were of concern in places such as England from the 
>eighteenth century onwards.  Rights to health care became 
>incorporated within European welfare states during the twentieth 
>century but, as more recent debates over health care in the USA 
>demonstrate, rights and health remain disputed territory.  This 
>conference aims to explore the understanding and application of the 
>notion of rights to health within different historical and 
>geographical settings.  For further information, please see attached PDF.
>
>Proposals are invited that address the themes of the conference in 
>any historical period and geographical context.  Papers will be 
>limited to 20 minutes in length.  Please submit paper proposals, 
>including a 300 word abstract and speakers' contact details to 
>Alex.Mold at lshtm.ac.uk by 1 October 2010.
