New Social History of Pharmacy & Pharmaceuticals Festival - American Institute of the History of Pharmacy

The American Institute of the History of Pharmacy and the University of Wisconsin–Madison School of Pharmacy were pleased to host the virtual, New Social History of Pharmacy & Pharmaceuticals Festival. The Festival was a free online streaming event that ram from Thursday, September 24 through Tuesday, September 29, 2020.

Videos of all Festival sessions are now available to watch on the: Festival website. For questions or more information, please contact: aihp@aihp.org.

The five-day interdisciplinary festival aimed to generate a discussion related to the under-explored social history of pharmacy and pharmaceuticals. We hoped the contributed paper panels, books talks, and invited festival talks stimulated/connected new scholarship and placed a spotlight on emerging trends in the studies of pharmaceuticals, drugs, and alcohol more broadly.
