The International Association for the Study of Traditional Asian Medicine (IASTAM) will hold its Sixth International Congress (ICTAM). IASTAM invited proposals for papers on the senses (such as vision and hearing) and their functions in medicine and in different medical contexts (such as prognosis and diagnosis), sensory perception, how “sense is made” out of various sets of symptoms in practice, and how contemporary adaptations “make sense” of older medical paradigms. IASTAM also invited proposals on physical substances (such as blood, milk, or tears) and their roles in different theories and models of anatomy and treatment. IASTAM encouraged papers from scholars from all science and humanities disciplines as well as from practitioners of traditional Asian medicine (Ayurveda, acupuncture, etc.). Proposals on any theme or topic were welcome, but papers that address the themes of sense and substance were given preference, as were proposals for organized panels over individual papers.

Asian Medicine is a multidisciplinary journal aimed at researchers and practitioners of Asian medicine. It makes available in one single publication academic essays that explore the historical, anthropological, sociological and philological dimensions of Asian medicine as well as practice reports from clinicians based in Asia and in Western countries.
