The 3rd meeting of the International Society for the History of the Neurosciences, will be held in the historic town of Annapolis, Maryland at the harbor.
The structure of the meeting will be platform and poster papers as well as thematic symposia, all to be refereed by the program committee.
Platform papers are normally about 20 minutes in duration followed by 5-10 minutes for discussion. Poster papers normally fill an 8 x 4 foot poster board area. Although the program committee has not yet been officially appointed (this will occur at this year's annual meeting in Leyden, Holland), proposals for papers and ideas for possible symposia can be submitted now to Harry Whitaker (who is Local Arrangements chair and who will be a member of the program committee) or to any of the officers of ISHN (listed below) for feedback/comments.
Papers are expected to have at least one author who is a member of the society (for information on membership, please contact Duane Haines (below).
A block of rooms is reserved at the Annapolis Marriott Waterfront hotel at a favorable convention rate and there is an arrangement for students willing to room together. All attendees will be expected to make their own room reservations, no later than 45 days in advance of the meeting in order to obtain the convention rate. Please contact Whitaker for further details about the meeting, hotel, city and the Chesapeake Bay venue.
Given the proximity of Washington, D.C. and the various library collections there which are of historical research interest, plus the Annapolis venue itself with easy access to the scenic Eastern shore of the Chesapeake Bay, the ISHN anticipates a great deal interest in this meeting. We suggest that you consider contacting us soon if you are interested in presenting or organizing a symposium.
