Workshop for the History of Environment, Agriculture, Technology, and Science (WHEATS) from March 15-17, 2013.
The History and Sociology of Science Department at the
University of Pennsylvania will host the Workshop for the History of
Environment, Agriculture, Technology, and Science (WHEATS) from March 15-17,
2013.
This event will bring nine graduate students from around
the country to Penn for a series of events, chief among them a day-long
collaborative workshop of an interdisciplinary group of article-length papers.
There will also be a keynote talk delivered by Dr. Conevery Bolton Valencius
hosted by the Chemical Heritage Foundation on Friday night, a publishing
workshop on Sunday morning, and a curated field trip to Bartram's Garden on
Sunday afternoon.
We would like to invite you to join the conversation and
participate in any or all of the events we have planned for the weekend of
WHEATS.
In order to get a headcount, as well as a roster of those
who will require access to the precirculated papers, we are asking those who
plan to attend to register in advance. Please visit the WHEATS website for more
information, to read accepted abstracts, and to register:
We welcome scholars of all stripes to join us for a
weekend of rousing interdisciplinary dialogue and activities. Registration will
close on March 1, 2013.
Many thanks, and we hope to see you in March!
