Announcement International Summer School of the Dutch Graduate School
WTMC
Theme: 'Contentious Science'
Date: 3-7 September 2001
Anchor teacher is:
Aant Elzinga (Gothenburg University)
The main theme of the new Summer School, organised yearly by the
Netherlands
Graduate School of Science, Technology and Modern Culture (WTMC), will
be
"contentious science".
The weeklong programme ( http://www.wmw.utwente.nl/wtmc ) will have
Aant
Elzinga as its anchor teacher, one of the pioneers in the field of
science
and technology studies. Aant is full professor in theory of science
and
research at Gothenburg University (Sweden). He has been president of
EASST,
science advisor to the Canadian government, and dean of the humanities
faculty. In his work Elzinga combines history, philosophy, and the
politics
of science, therewith also casting science policy studies in a
broader,
reflexive and more critical frame. His recent work on Antarctic
science will
serve as a window on the socio-political dimensions of present-day
research.
The Summer School will also take a new look at the way science and
technology are increasingly involved in disputes such as the ones over
international food policy and in law suits.
The language of the Summer School is English. The location is
conference
centre Logica at the campus of University of Twente,
http://www.utwente.nl .
The Summer School is part of the graduate training of the PhD students
in
the Netherlands.

students.
The fee is NLG 1400,-, the reduced rate for EASST members is NLG
1200,-.
