Microbial
Exchange:
A Symposium on the History of Leprosy
Salvador, Bahia, Brazil
August 7, 2002
PLEASE
NOTE CHANGE OF DATE
"...The
imperfect isolation of the leper from his healthy neighbours
has always been a cause of the continuance of leprosy ...,and
until very strict and severe sanitary laws are enforced, it
will ever remain so. ...(let us look the fearful danger of
the loathsome and hopeless pestilence in the face!). ... that
direful and desperate distemper ought to be regarded as a
species of social crime, for which no ticket of leave is ever
admissible"
A Graham Dunlop, Consul 10 Jan 1863
(from FO83/240: "Leprosy: Answers to Queries 1862-1863",
Public Record Office, UK)
The European
Association for the History of Medicine and Health's Leprosy
Network and the International Leprosy Association's Global
Project on the History of Leprosy based at the Wellcome Unit
at Oxford are holding a short seminar on the history of leprosy
to coincide with the 16th International Leprosy Congress.
This
symposium, a one-day event subject to attendance, will serve
as an opportunity for exchange for those working on the history
of leprosy. Timed to coincide with the International Leprosy
Association Congress, it offers academics in the history of
medicine the opportunity for exchange with health care professionals
in the field.
