Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The unit plans to have two sessions at the 2017 meeting. Both are open sessions, welcoming paper proposals on any aspect of the study of health and disability related to the ancient Near East and Greco-Roman worlds. Major areas of concern include medical history; the religious, legal, and cultural status of people with disabilities or healthcare providers; the representation of disability in biblical and cognate texts, and biblical theology. Papers with a similar theme may be grouped together in one session.
