Meeting Description:

The second International Conference on Historical Medical Discourse (CHIMED-2)
will be held in Helsinki 10-12 June 2019. The conference series was initiated
in Milan in 2017 and focuses on multidisciplinary research into European
historical medical discourse. We welcome studies drawing from linguistics,
literary studies and history - among others - to present a comprehensive and
well-rounded view of medical discourse in Europe. The second conference
focuses on medical discourse in English in the period 1500-1900. Studies may
be either synchronic or diachronic, and a long view may stretch even beyond
the main frame of time. In accordance with the multidisciplinary aims of the
conference series, we encourage papers that approach medical discourse from
different methodological and disciplinary perspectives. The language of the
conference is English. 

We are pleased to announce our two plenary speakers (confirmed):
Dr. Elaine Leong (Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, Berlin) and
Prof. Giovanni Iamartino (Universitá degli Studi di Milano)

The programme will also include an interdisciplinary panel, ''Future trends in
historical medical discourse'', with invited speakers who will discuss their
views on future developments in their own fields and potentials of
collaboration between historians, linguists and literary scholars. The three
panelists will be Louise Curth Hill (Winchester), Clark Lawlor (Northumbria)
and Tony McEnery (Lancaster). In addition, the conference will include a
tutorial session on the use of the medical corpora compiled in Helsinki. 

Welcome to Helsinki! Local organizing committee: Carla Suhr, Irma
Taavitsainen, Turo Hiltunen, Noora Kumpulainen (conference secretary)
