**********************************
The topic for the for the 2014-2015 academic year is: BLOOD
Blood is a symbol ubiquitous in the study of history – family, mortality, warfare, medicine – blood binds them together like a thread through the course of human development. As a symbol of war, blood and iron bound Germany; and as a symbol of family, blood crowned King Henry VIII. In a more literal sense, Prince Alexei’s disease of the blood brought Rasputin to court, and Hippocrates’ theory of humors defined medical practice for centuries.
And these, of course, are just a few examples. The Tufts Historical Review Editorial Board seeks outstanding articles – between 2,500 and 8,000 words – that explore our theme from a diverse array of perspectives.
Submissions are due by 15 November 2014, and should be submitted to tuftshistoricalreview@gmail.com.
