HumSci Workshop
HumSci Workshop for PhDs and ECRs - Tuesday 28th and
Wednesday 29th May 2013.
Is it possible to think about the connections between the
sciences and humanities which goes beyond science communication (ie how can the
‘soft skills’ of the humanities be used to communicate the ‘hard results’ of
science) or the History of Science, and which doesn’t get distracted by ‘The
Two Cultures' discussion?
The idea of the HumSci workshop, funded by the AHRC, is
to promote genuine reciprocity between the two disciplines by bringing together
PhD students and Early Career Researchers from both the sciences and the
humanities to think through issues of method, creativity and uncertainty in
research, as well as publishing and communication. Led by expert panels, talking through the
similarities and differences in the disciplines will help us critically reflect
on the practices of our own discipline, as well as creating fresh research
agendas. Have a look at the provisional
programme to get more of an idea of how this discussion will be structured, and
please pass these details on to anyone you think might be interested.
