Call for Papers
48th Annual Joint Atlantic Seminar for the History of
Biology
When: April 26-27, 2013
Where: Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, MA
The organizing committee for the 48th annual Joint
Atlantic Seminar for the History of Biology invites paper proposals from
graduate students. The Joint Atlantic Seminar for the History of Biology was
founded in 1965 to encourage the stimulating and collegial exchange of ideas
within the HPS community, in a friendly setting. Since its inception, it has
been a venue for graduate students to gain experience and feedback on the
presentation of their dissertation research in front of a recept- ive and
critical audience in an intimate and constructive atmosphere.
The 48th Annual Joint Atlantic Seminar for the History of
Biology will be held on April 26th and 27th at the Marine Biological Laboratory
in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. This event is sponsored by the MBL History and
Philosophy of Science program, in collaboration with ASU. The seminar will open
at 1pm on Friday afternoon with a workshop on informatics and computational
history and philosophy of science, and an introduction to the MBL.
Submission:
We invite proposals for presentations from graduate
students working in any area of the history of the life sciences. We ask that
presentations be based on disserta- tion research. Abstracts (up to 300 words)
must be submitted via e-mail to jas- bio@asu.edu
by the end of day Friday, March 1st, 2013. Please indicate whether (a) you have
presented at a previous JAS-Bio meeting, and (b) you have presented the
proposed paper at any other conference. People near the completion of their
dis- sertations who have not presented at JAS-Bio before will receive priority,
but all graduate students are welcome and encouraged to submit.
Selections will be announced by Friday, March 8th.
Financial Support:
Financial support is available for graduate students by application,
thanks to an NSF Embryo Project Training Grant. See website for more
information.
