Announcement of panel on Tibetan Medicine, IATS X, Oxford, Sept. 9-12

[Guest guest]

Dear IASTAM members,

 

I would like to announce an upcoming conference panel focusing on " New

Research on Tibetan Medicine " which also has been fortunate to receive

funding by The Wellcome Trust. There will be 26 participants giving papers

on Tibetan medicine from a variety of disciplines ranging from

anthropological to historical and literary studies. The panel takes place as

part of the 10th Seminar of the International Association for Tibetan

Studies hosted this year by the Aris Trust Centre

(http://www.wolfson.ox.ac.uk/iats). It extends over four days in the

mornings (9.00 - 12.45 am) from Tuesday 9th to Friday 12th September 2003.

The venue is St. Hugh's College, Oxford.

 

The panel New Research on Tibetan Medicine is the first panel on Tibetan

medicine held at an IATS conference, and reflects the increasing scholarly

interest for this subject in Tibetan and Himalayan Studies. The aim of the

panel is to open up our common interests in this field for mutual inquiry

and discussion. By “Tibetan medicine” I suggest we include all aspects of

Tibetan professional and popular systems of medical knowledge and practice,

as well as their representations, and their encompassing social, cultural,

political and economic milieux. Hopefully this panel will generate

discussion of some fundamental questions and problems about our research,

both theoretical and methodological: the various medical epistemologies

involved (“traditional” and biomedical, professional and folk or popular,

gender and age related etc.), changing Tibetan concepts of health and

illness throughout history and diverse national contexts, as well as

transnational aspects of Tibetan medicine.

 

For your further information, please see enclosed attachments for schedule

and abstracts.

 

With best wishes,

 

Mona Schrempf
