Institute for the History of Medicine and Science

6-7 July 2012
The focus of this conference is on the variety of
physical sites where chemistry was practiced in the 19th century. The main
purpose is to analyse, first, who was practising chemistry in a particular
site, where, how, to what ends, and the physical, social, cultural and economic
organization of these sites; and second, the wider social, economic, political
and cultural contexts for the practice of chemistry through detailed
examination of chemists' interactions, in and around these sites, with other
actors.
The conference will be held at the Instituto de Historia
de la Medicina y de la Ciencia, Valencia, and will open with a reception at the
Institute on Thursday evening, July 5.
The registration desk will be open from 17.00 to 19.00 and again on
Friday morning for those arriving later.
The conference programme is now available. There will be five thematic sessions over the
