12º SEMINÁRIO NACIONAL DE HISTÓRIA DA CIÊNCIA E DA TECNOLOGIA & 7º CONGRESSO LATINO-AMERICANO DE HISTÓRIA DA CIÊNCIA E DA TECNOLOGIA Simpósio 05 RELAÇÕES INTERNACIONAIS: CIÊNCIAS, MEDICINA E POLÍTICA Coordenação:        MAGALI ROMERO SÁ (COC/FIOCRUZ) HELOISA MARIA BERTOL DOMINGUES (CHC/MAST) As relações científicas internacionais têm entrado na agenda dos historiadores das ciências e, aos poucos, esse estudo começa a se constituir numa área da história social das ciências. No processo de globalização, países da Europa, das Américas, da África e da Ásia estão cada vez mais estruturando uma comunidade internacional. Historicamente, essas relações têm sido marcadas por relações de poder. O objetivo desse simpósio é debater as relações que foram se formando entre países, cientistas e instituições que, de uma hierarquia do poder, característico da Era dos Impérios, passou a uma relação de troca, influindo na própria linguagem que as define...

The Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg (HWK), Institute for Advanced Study, is a publically financed non-profit foundation. The Institute is dedicated to foster excellent research in the German North-Western region, especially the Universities of Bremen and Oldenburg. The HWK accomplishes its mission by appointing advanced researchers from universities and research institutes from all over the world as Research Fellows. The HWK announces the launch of a focus program in the area of European studies in 2010. The Fellowships are intended for advanced scholars of social sciences and neighboring disciplines (such as economy, law studies, history, ethnology, philosophy, anthropology, psychology, etc.) who want to pursue a project on Europe and whose research will benefit from the possibility to study Europe from within. Please visit our homepage for detailed information on the application process: http://www.h-w-k.de/europefellowship.html or contact Dr. Susanne Fuchs +49/4221 9160-123; sfuc...

A conference in memory of David C. Gooding's contribution to the understanding of science will be held in the University of Bath on 22-23 September 2010. In recognition of his many contributions, papers will be given by speakers who knew David and by those whose work reflects his spirit of creative inquiry into the nature and practices of science including Tom Addis, Jan Addis, Elizabeth Cavicchi, Geoffrey Cantor, Mike Gorman, Helen Haste, Frank James and Ryan Tweney. David Gooding (1947-2009) received his Ph.D. in Philosophy of Science from Oxford University. But his many contributions transcend any easy disciplinary boundaries. His papers and books in the history of science, philosophy of science, cognitive science, and the social studies of science brought new awareness of the nature and sources of Michael Faraday's work, and, more generally, of the role of experimentation and visualization in theory development in science. His methodological approaches pioneer...

The Lloyd Library and Museum is pleased to announce its newest online exhibit “In Search of Birds at the Lloyd.”  While the Lloyd is well-known for its remarkable collection of botanical and pharmaceutical resources, perhaps only a handful of people know that its collection also includes significant holdings on diverse biological subjects.  This exhibit opens a window onto our vast resources of zoological materials with a spotlight on ornithology. Birds have long captured our imagination.  People have watched, studied, and documented bird life for centuries; and, a nice representation of this scholarship is at the Lloyd.  Ancient zoological texts sit near 20th century ornithological journals.  Works by John James Audubon complement those by William Bartram and Alexander Wilson.  We also have books for children, books about local birds, and books dedicated to feathers, nests, eggs, and skeletons; visitors to this exhibit will see selections from...

Ph.D fellowship, Ghent University, Dept. of Sociology, Center for Social Theory, Belgium "The construction of social classification schemata: occupational statistics in Belgium, Great-Britain and the United States" Since the nineteenth century, both Europeans and Americans have become "calculating people". Numerous statistics now inform us about both the social realities they strive to measure and the constructs which organize that measuring. Administrative statistics from the nineteenth and twentieth century are doubly precious documents about the social world they mean to describe: precious for the figures they provide, and precious for their structures or forms, which are traces of the intentions and conflicts that presided over their production. By means of a case-study, this research project aims to study the genesis of administrative statistical categories that organize our observations and representations of the social world. The focus of this research...
