Call for Papers: Third International Conference on Health, Wellness and Society
The 2013 conference will be held at the Escola Paulista de Medicina ? Universidade Federal de Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo, Brazil from 15-16 March 2013.
The 2013 Health, Wellness and Society Conference will address a range of critically important issues and themes relating to Health, Wellness and Society. Plenary speakers include some of the leading thinkers in these areas, as well as numerous paper, colloquium and workshop presentations.
Participants are invited to submit a proposal for an in-person paper presentation, workshop/interactive session, poster/exhibits session, or a jointly presented colloquium. We also encourage innovative presentation formats, such as roundtables, staged dialogues, screenings and performances. Parallel sessions are loosely grouped into streams reflecting different perspectives or disciplines. Each stream forms a talking circle, an informal forum for focused discussion of issues and conference themes.
Participants may choose to submit written papers before or after the conference for possible publication in the peer reviewed The International Journal of Health, Wellness and Society. Virtual participants also have the option to submit papers for consideration by the journal. All registered conference participants receive a complimentary online subscription to the journal when registration is finalized. This subscription is valid until one year after the conference end-date.
The current deadline for proposals is 11 October 2012 with the final deadline for late submissions being 8 January 2013. Proposals submitted by 11 October 2012 will have their schedule requests honored. Proposals submitted after 11 October 2012 can still make schedule requests, however they will not be guaranteed.
