AD HOC - History of Chemistry
Dear all
AD HOC is a history of chemistry reading group, based in Cambridge and
London. While our main focus is historical, we also consider the
philosophical, sociological, public and educational dimensions of
chemistry. Over the past years our meetings have been attended by a variety
of scholars, ranging from advanced undergraduates to teaching staff in both
science studies and chemistry, and often attracting visitors from other
parts of the UK and abroad.
The themes for this term are:
Cambridge: 'Alchemy vs. Chemistry'
(four meetings, Wednesdays from 5pm-6.30pm at HPS)
Programme at http://www.hps.cam.ac.uk/adhoc/cambridge.html
London: 'Sites of Eighteenth-Century Chemistry'
(monthly, Tuesdays from 6 pm-7.30 pm at UCL)
Programme at http://www.hps.cam.ac.uk/adhoc/london.html
Both series are generously sponsored by the Society for the History of
Alchemy and Chemistry (SHAC), and travel bursaries are available for
students who wish to attend meetings at both sites.
Please let me know if you would like to join the mailing list.
All best,
Jenny
