Dear List,
I hope this announcement is of interest to any postgrads on this list.
We are pleased to announce a call for papers for the BSHS PG conference 2008, to
be hosted by the Division of History and Philosophy of Science at Leeds in
January 2008. Please pass the following information on to as many postgrads as
possible, particularly since many new students may not yet have signed up to
all the relevant mailing lists!
British Society for the History of Science Postgraduate Conference 2008
University of Leeds, 3rd – 5th January 2008
Call for Papers
Deadline: Wednesday November 14th 2007
The next British Society for the History of Science (BSHS) postgraduate
conference will be hosted by the Division of the History and Philosophy of
Science in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Leeds, from
Thursday 3rd to Saturday 5th January 2008. The annual BSHS postgraduate
conference is an opportunity for postgraduates, from the UK and abroad,
researching in the history of science, technology and medicine, and related
fields, to present their research. It provides a valuable chance to present and
discuss work in a friendly and receptive environment, and also is a great
chance to make contacts and develop friendships within the postgraduate
community.
We welcome papers from all postgraduates working in History of Science,
Technology and Medicine, and also those working in other disciplines whose
research touches on any area of HSTM studies. We would like to offer as many
postgraduates as possible the chance to present their papers, so time for
presentations will be restricted to no more than twenty minutes. Please send a
brief abstract (not more than 300 words) to the organizers (by email – see
below), before the deadline of 14th November 2007. The abstract should give a
title and an outline of your paper, including methodology, sources and key
questions of your research project. Please include your contact details and
your institutional affiliation.
To submit an abstract, or if you have any queries, please get in touch by email:
