Standard Exchanges. Workshop international sur la standardisation en histoire de la santé et de la médecine – An International Workshop on Standardisation in the History of Health and Medicine

Standardisation is omnipresent in communication, production, negotiation, and trade between partners. The means and processes of standardisation have been explored in industrial production and the manufacturing of large quantities, in the development of state health administrations and drug regulations, and in changes in therapeutic and bedside practices.

One aim of this workshop is to take a step back and reconsider or revisit what standardisation means or what it means to standardise, particularly in the sector of health and medicine. If we consider standardization procedures of molecules to be essential in production and in guaranteeing “quality” we have to ask how these efforts can be integrated in a larger history of standardization. For example, we can ask what standardisation implies on a finer organizational level, such as that proposed by economists who consider the concept of an organizational routine as an analytical lens for investigating and understanding organizational change.

This workshop will be centred on an exchange between historians, economists, political scientists and sociologists. The goal is to strengthen historical observations and examinations of standards by confronting diverging interpretations of standards, standardization and parallel entities, such as routines, norms and codes. We herein bring together studies that link the concept of standardization to a larger history of health and medicine, studies those that take a theoretically inspired approach of the relationship of standardization in economy and science, as well as contributions that look to apply, criticize or explore these concepts with regard to pharmaceuticals and history of drugs.
