Dear Mersenne subscribers, This is a message for all teachers of history of science, technology and medicine based in United Kingdom institutions of higher education. (Those outside the UK are welcome to comment too - please send all messages direct to Graeme Gooday, [log in to unmask]) Many of you will by now have received a questionnaire about your professional teaching activities in HSTM from the HEFCE Subject Centre at the University of Leeds devoted to this and cognate subjects. If you have not received this questionnaire, or would prefer to complete an on-line version, visit our webpage: http://www.prs-ltsn.leeds.ac.uk/registration/questionnaire.html Please note: in the questionnaire the HPSTM field is represented by the phrase 'History of Science - simplified merely for presentational transparency. For information on the Subject Centres plans for discussions and workshop on teaching HSTM teaching see: http://www.prs-ltsn.leeds.ac.uk/hist_science/index.html and ... //www.prs-ltsn.leeds.ac.uk/hist_science/discussions/index.html and for a discussion piece on the challenges of teaching HPSTM to science/engineering/medical students see: //www.prs-ltsn.leeds.ac.uk/hist_science/discussions/problems.html For general information on the aim and activities of the Philosophy and Religious Studies Subject Centre (which covers the areas of HPSTM as well as the philosophy/ethics of science) visit: http://www.prs-ltsn.leeds.ac.uk/ Please contact Graeme Gooday directly to raise any issues about teaching HSTM that you wish to be considered for workshops and virtual discussions in the future.
