The Centre for the Social History of Health and Healthcare, in cooperation with Wellcome Trust, would like to invite papers for Cannabis: Global Histories at the University of Strathclyde (Glasgow) on 19-20 April 2018.
One outcome of the recent Alcohol and Drugs History Society meeting (ADHS) in Utrecht was enthusiasm for a ‘histories of cannabis’ workshop/conference to gather together the increasing number of scholars researching the topic.
Paper proposals should be based on unpublished research and should include a 300-word abstract, including a brief CV (2 page maximum). The deadline is 1 September 2017. Participants would then be asked to submit papers of c.7000-8000 words by 15 January 2018. This will enable pre-circulation of papers and also early work on editing a collection of papers for publication.
The geographical location and timeframe are open, while topics may include but are not limited to:
- policy and legislation
- health outcomes
- trafficking and terrorism
- comparative approaches
- myths
- science and evidence
- the rise of big cannabis
- art and culture
Please send your submissions or queries to :

Deadline for Proposals: 1 September 2017
Deadline for Papers: 15 January 2018
