Conference:  "Global Perspectives on the History of Chinese Legal
Medicine", October 20-23, 2011, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor

Conference description: How have different societies incorporated
medical knowledge into legal decision-making?  What can the practices of
earlier eras teach us about today?  This international and interdisciplinary
conference on the history of Chinese legal medicine will explore China's
centuries-long tradition of forensic medicine in a cross-cultural
perspective.  Presenters and commentators come from a wide range of
backgrounds, including specialists in the history of law and the history of
medicine in China, Europe, North America and the Middle East, as well as
present-day forensics experts and pathologists.


All talks and panels are free and open to the public.
Events will be held at the Thayer Academic Building (202 South Thayer,
