CFP: “Children, Medicine, and Imperial Encounters” Panel for SHCY Conference
Hello,
I am hoping to organize a panel for the 26-28 June 2019 SHCY conference (Australian Catholic University, Sydney) on children’s engagement with medicine, particularly in imperial contexts. My research focuses on nineteenth-century British imperial uses of children to spread smallpox vaccine globally. I am interested in the actual uses of children as vectors to transmit vaccine matter and in how popular and government accounts of vaccination extended—and denied—rights and emotions (such as child preciousness, innocence, etc.) through emerging ideals of childhood.
