Advance Call: ISIH 7th International Research Conference

Date: 7–9 June 2018
Website: isihconference.com
Theme: Technologies, bodies and healthcare
Venue: The University of Tasmania, Rozelle Campus in Sydney

During a conference in 2000, a number of participants realised they shared a common interest, approach and concern about Sickness and Health in the 21^st Century. From this initial encounter and subsequent discussions the concept for an International Conference dealing with the critical scholarship of power, practice and ethics in healthcare was born. From a handful of like-minded individuals, and via two international conferences, the community has grown to now include hundreds.
