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):
http://www.wmw.utwente.nl/wtmc, will be "contentious science".
The weeklong programme 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 programme, with an indication of the other speakers, will be available
by the end of April. 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.
A limited number of places are available for other (foreign) PhD students.
The fee is NLG 1400,-, the reduced rate for EASST members is NLG 1200,-.
EASST has a tradition of making a few travel stipends available. Please
inquire at the EASST secretariat.
