Dear colleagues
Since the most recent issue of SHAD is not yet 
out (it goes to print this week) I am sending you 
a reminder of the following call for papers.

============================================
Call for Papers:  Alcoholism - Historical and Social Issues

The National Museum of Unification, Alba Iulia, 
„Iuliu Maniu” Center for Political and Historical 
Studies, University of Alba Iulia, is pleased to 
announce the organizing of a conference with the title
“Alcoholism – historical and social issues”

The aim of this conference is to discuss the 
different aspects of alcoholism around the world, 
and also to promote an interdisciplinary dialogue 
between different branches of science (history, 
anthropology, sociology, psychology or medicine), 
and to promote a comparative analysis between 
eastern and western European patterns of 
alcoholism.   At the same time, the conference is 
intended to encourage the improvement of alcoholism studies in Romania.

The conference will be held on 28-29 August 2009 
at the National Museum of Unification, Alba Iulia, Romania.

Selected papers from the conference will be 
revised for publication in the form of an edited volume.

The cost of accommodations (all the meals, hotel 
rooms, official reception of the conference) will 
be covered by the organizers, excepting the travel expenses for participants.

Please send an abstract not exceeding 250 words 
with your paper proposal to Dr. Marius Rotar, at
