Progress in Medicine

Conference announcement and call for papers Progress in Medicine 13 - 15 April 2010 University of Bristol The aims of this conference are: • To examine the nature, scope, causes, and grounds of progress in medicine. • To provide a forum for developing the unified study of the history and philosophy of medicine, and in particular raising the profile of the philosophy of medicine in the UK and its engagement with the history of medicine. • To create interdisciplinary bridges between the medical, philosophical, and historical professions, enabling medical professionals to become more theoretically engaged, while philosophers and philosophically-minded historians of medicine engage with the actual practice of medical professionals, so that their research reflects the realities and needs of modern medicine. • To facilitate the wider dissemination of research in the philosophy and history of medicine beyond the boundaries of those disciplines, and especially in medic

50th anniversary of CP Snow's 'Two Cultures'

Recently I gave a public lecture in Baltimore commemorating the 50th anniversary of CP Snow's 'Two Cultures' lecture at Cambridge. You may find it interesting, since I cover both historical and contemporary issues regarding to the legitimisation of science in society. In any case, I do not mean to launch a discussion here. The website has a place for comments, and you are welcome to contact me personally. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVZgNfDQR2A Yours in discourse Steve Steve Fuller Professor of Sociology University of Warwick Coventry CV4 7AL United Kingdom Phone +44 2476 523 940

HQ-3 Third International Conference on the History of Quantum Physics June 28–July 2, 2010 Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, Berlin

HQ-3 Third International Conference on the History of Quantum Physics June 28–July 2, 2010 Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, Berlin Building upon the momentum generated by two previous conferences in Berlin (2007) and in Utrecht (2008), this meeting will bring together historians, philosophers, and scientists who work on the emergence and the development of quantum physics and related disciplines from the days of the old quantum theory until the present. The conference aims at combining a genuinely historical perspective with a broader understanding of the foundations and implications of quantum physics. The thematic horizon extends from the classical traditions that quantum physics is rooted in, through the genesis of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, to the history of its appropriation in newly-emerging fields of research up to the present day. We invite contributions with a historical focus, dealing with aspects such as: • the theoretical, mathe

Film Literature Index

Film Literature Index http://webapp1.dlib.indiana.edu/fli/index.jsp This very ambitious project from Indiana University was funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, and it continues to be updated on a regular basis. The Film Literature Index (FLI) annually indexes 150 film and television periodicals from 30 countries in their entirety, along with 200 other periodicals selectively for articles on film and television. The FLI database can be searched by subject headings, names, production titles, or by corporate names. Visitors can browse around, or perform advanced searches as their needs require. More information about the project can be found in the "About FLI" section, which can be accessed at the top of the homepage. Here visitors can learn about the history of the FLI, and also read about various papers and presentations that document the creation of the FLI Online site. [KMG]
