The History Department at Rice University invites proposals for a two-day symposium on the history of Medicine and Healing in the Age of Slavery.

The fifth NWFashionConference (NWFC) is scheduled for the autumn of 2018. The NWFC Steering Committee is looking for a partner to host this next edition.

Due to technical constraints, the workshop will be held on December 26-28 2017, and not as published earlier. Accordingly, the deadlines for submission and for notice on participation are postponed in 2 weeks. Please note the updated dates bellow.
