Welcome to web page of
the Research Collective for
History of Medicine at the University of Victoria
The UVic History of Medicine research collective is interdisciplinary and interdepartmental, with the goal of joining ideas and work that pertain to history of medicine and to the definition of the discipline. The collective welcomes students, professors, researchers and members of the community. It coordinates existing work at and around UVic in History of Medicine, including presentations and debates.
It organizes a regular work-in-progress seminar for graduate students and faculty, and it also organizes workshops/conferences ("Anatomies of Melancholy", April 2006; "Patients' Tales", April 2007, "Mirrors of Melancholy", October 2007, "The Sex of Angels and... Young Persons", April 2009) with the participation of researchers from other universities.
