Continuities, Contingencies and Fault Lines: Nursing 100 Years After Nightingale
A century after her death, Florence Nightingale continues to cast a long shadow over the History of Nursing, especially in the English-speaking world, where the Nightingale narrative long served as a basis for assertions of a universal body of knowledge and a unitary sphere of practice that justified nursing’s professional claims. In the last quarter century, however, historians have increasingly turned their attention to illuminating the diversity of nursing practitioners, the contingency of nursing practice, and nursing’s location within social, national and imperial projects.
The Canadian Association for the History of Nursing is pleased to announce Continuities, Contingencies and Fault Lines: Nursing 100 Years After Nightingale as the title theme for its 2010 Annual Meeting, to be held in Winnipeg, June 18-20, 2010. The Program Committee invites proposals for papers which explore the diversity of practitioners who have performed caring work and laid claim to the title “nurse”; the nature of their practices; and the ways in which ideas about nursing have been challenged, transformed, dissolved and reconstituted across space and time. Abstracts on other topics are also welcome.
We invite proposals in English and French for presentations in either language. Abstracts should be no longer than 350 words and should be accompanied by a one-page curriculum vitae. Submissions by e-mail are strongly encouraged, or they can be mailed to the address below. Abstracts will be blind peer reviewed, and the Program Committee will notify applicants of its decision by February 15, 2010
