On March 25th 2025, the California State University, Sacramento (SacState) will welcome the First SHIPPAN workshop. The theme: Shipping Pandemics – A Global Approach to the History of Maritime Health (18th-20th).
The Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the crucial role of transport in times of health crisis, and the need for trained, responsive professionals. This workshop focuses on sanitary prevention and the practices of health professionals at sea, on board ships or in port environments. Over three centuries, the transnational approach covers military and merchant navies, both sailing and steam-powered, in ports on three continents.
