New Social History of Pharmacy and Pharmaceuticals Festival Opening Panel

The American Institute of the History of Pharmacy and the University of Wisconsin–Madison School of Pharmacy were pleased to host the virtual festival, A New Social History of Pharmacy & Pharmaceuticals. The Festival was a free online streaming event that ran from Thursday, September 24, through Tuesday, September 29, 2020. This five-day interdisciplinary Festival aimed to generate a discussion related to the under-explored social history of pharmacy and pharmaceuticals. We hope the contributed paper panels, books talks, and invited Festival talks stimulated/connected new scholarship and placed a spotlight on emerging trends in the studies of pharmaceuticals, drugs, and alcohol more broadly. In the Festival opening panel, Dr. Lucas Richert, Dr. Nancy Campbell, Dr. Erika Dyck, and Dr. Axel Helmstaedter, discussed the future of the field of the history of pharmacy and pharmaceuticals.
