SITES OF CHEMISTRY IN THE 19TH CENTURY
July, 6 - 7th 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 López Piñero, 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 two days. Full
versions of papers will be available in advance to conference participiants via
