August 2009 - Call for Papers

Dear Colleague,

On behalf of the Conference Organising Committee, we would like to inform
you of the:

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SCIENCE IN SOCIETY
Cambridge University, United Kingdom
5-7 August 2009
http://www.ScienceInSocietyConference.com

Key themes addressed by the Conference include the social impacts of
science, the values and ethics of science, the pedagogies of science, the
knowledge making processes of science, the politics of science and the
economics of science. At first glance, the scope and concerns of the
Conference are enormous. However, in contrast to conferences with a
specialist disciplinary focus, this Conference aims to explore in an
interdisciplinary spirit linkages between different areas of concern and
practices of investigation. We welcome presentation proposals which range
from broad explorations of philosophical, theoretical, methodological and
policy questions, to proposals which present finely grained evidence of the
connections of science to society in microcosms of research, teaching and
practice.

As well as impressive international line-up of main speakers, the
Conference will also include numerous paper, workshop and colloquium
presentations by practitioners, teachers and researchers. We would
particularly like to invite you to respond to the Conference
Call-for-Papers. Presenters may choose to submit written papers for
publication in the fully refereed International Journal of Science in
Society. If you are unable to attend the Conference in person, virtual
registrations are also available which allow you to submit a paper for
refereeing and possible publication in this fully refereed academic
Journal, as well as access to the electronic version of the Conference
proceedings.

Whether you are a virtual or in-person presenter at this Conference, we
also encourage you to present on the Conference YouTube Channel. Please
select the Online Sessions link on the conference website for further
details.

The deadline for the next round in the call for papers (a title and short
abstract) is 11 December 2008. Proposals are reviewed within two weeks of
submission. Full details of the Conference, including an online proposal
submission form, are to be found at the Conference website -
http://www.ScienceInSocietyConference.com

We look forward to receiving your proposal and hope you will be able to
join us in Cambridge in August 2009.

Yours Sincerely,

Homer Stavely
Professor of Psychology Emeritus
Keene State College
Keene, New Hampshire, USA
For the Advisory Board, International Conference on Science in Society and
International Journal of Science in Society
