Call for Papers: “Within and Beyond the Pharmacy as Corner Store”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Madison, WI<\/strong> \u2013 The History of Pharmacy and Pharmaceuticals (HoPP) is pleased to announce a call for papers for a special issue titled “Within and Beyond the Pharmacy as Corner Store.” This issue seeks to explore the multifaceted roles of community pharmacies both in the US and globally, focusing on their business, practice, marketing, advertising, retailing, and consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Community pharmacies, essential healthcare providers, have faced significant challenges in recent years, from pharmacist mental health fatigue to opioid litigation. This special issue aims to foster discussions across disciplines and geographies, addressing these and other issues affecting community pharmacies. This issue follows on the success of the recent Edward Kremers Seminar<\/a> in the History of Pharmacy and Drugs, which featured a series of webinars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The staff at AIHP and its flagship journal feel that understanding the history of community pharmacies is crucial for several reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Public Health Access: Community pharmacies are often the most accessible healthcare providers, offering medications and advice without appointments. Studying their history highlights how these institutions have evolved in multiple ways to meet public health needs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Economic Impact: The role of pharmacies in local economies and their transformation into chain stores can inform discussions on healthcare economics and business practices that have far-reaching implications.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Cultural Significance: <\/strong>Pharmacies are not just healthcare providers but also valuable social spaces. Their history reflects broader social changes, including shifts in gender roles, race relations, and class dynamics.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
