This year, the Society for Medical Anthropology will be hosting our annual conference in June with the European Association of Social Anthropologists (EASA) in Tarragona, Spain at the Universitat Rovira i Virgili. Unlike a traditional conference, the ADTSG will not be able to submit panel proposals. Instead, we encourage you to submit individual proposals.The following is taken from an email from the SMA president, Doug Feldman:

“Please go to: http://www.medical-anthropology-urv.cat/ to submit paper or film abstracts. To submit an abstract, press “Call for papers” or “Call for films,” and complete the abstract submission form. The deadline for abstract submissions is February 15, 2013. Also, on the website, is valuable information about skills-sharing workshops, participations of senior and junior scholars, challenges for the future, accomodations (including a map with the exact locations, and room prices in euros), conference venue information, and the organizing committee (under “credits”). Registration to pay for the conference fee (120 euros for regular registrants, and 60 euros for student registrants) will open on or about December 20th.  All registrants (whether giving a paper, showing a film, or just attending) will need to pay the registration fee beginning at that time.”

Also, please comment on this post if you are planning to attend this conference. That way we know whether to set up a business meeting or at least a group outing. Thanks!
