Call for Papers: "The Ghosts of Forgotten Forms of Science: Soviet Science and Biomedicine in Historical Context", May 07-08, 2020, Liverpool John Moores University, Liverpool

"This workshop, organized under the auspices of the Wellcome Trust-funded project “Growing Old in the Soviet Union, 1945-1991” at Liverpool John Moores University (https://sovietageing.com/), aims to flesh out the history of Soviet biomedical sciences by gathering research on its development and context within 20^th century science and medical humanities more broadly.   Although the project is focused on post-War Soviet gerontology, papers are welcomed covering the whole of the Soviet period (1917-1991) and any subfield of biomedical science or the history of medicine.  Papers addressing the following topics are particularly encouraged:

• Soviet gerontology or geriatrics;
• Interconnections between science, research, and medicine;
• History of Soviet scientific practice and/or theory;
• Interrelations between science and politics;
• Cultural representations of Soviet biomedical science and scientists;
• Soviet biomedical ethics."
