Science and the Humanities is a one-day interdisciplinary workshop, funded by the British Academy, bringing together scholars working in the history of science with those working on literature and science. The workshop is aimed at PhD students, postdocs, and those in the early stages of their academic careers working in History or English and with an interest in science
The workshop will explore the challenges (intellectual and practical) in developing historical and literary studies of science, and ask how early career scholars can present their work most effectively. Participants will:
• compare methodologies and assumptions across disciplines, with a view to fostering more rounded and reflexive approaches to the study of science in culture in different time periods;
• hear from established scholars about developing successful research projects and presenting historical and literary studies of science to a wider audience;
• receive guidance on constructing interdisciplinary research bids; and
• benefit from the opportunity to build mutually supportive networks with other early career scholars.
There is no registration fee but places are limited and participants must register in advance.
