Nursing Clio, a collaborative blog project, invites submissions on the intersections of race, medicine, and the body in world history. They welcome blog posts (500 to 1200 words) exploring the ways that race has influenced medical treatment, healing practices, and perceptions of health and the body. Contributions can be from any time period or geographic focus but must be accessible to a general audience. Please send your pitch — a few sentences on your topic — and a CV to nursingclio@gmail.com by December 15, 2016.
