9th STEP Meeting - Portugal • Lisbon, 1-3 September 2014
9th
STEP Meeting
Portugal
• Lisbon, 1-3 September 2014
Call For Papers
We are pleased to announce that the 9th meeting of
STEP (Science and Technology in the European Periphery) will be held in Lisbon,
Portugal, 1-3 September 2013. It is organized by the Interuniversity
Center for the History of Science and Technology (CIUHCT), a research centre associated with the Faculty of
Sciences of the University of Lisbon and the Faculty of Sciences and Technology
of the New University of Lisbon.
The deadline for submission
of paper or session proposals is 15 December 2013.
STEP meetings have
always sought to strike a balance between historiographical reflections, which
help develop a broader comparative analysis, and case-studies examining
different national and regional contexts. We will continue to favor both
approaches at the 9th meeting. The Scientific Committee encourages
contributions on a range of themes related to STEP’s interests and in
particular to its established research groups:
7. Science x Medicine
Individual papers
should aim at building upon the work of previous conferences and the current group structure within STEP. However, for session
proposals, we also encourage a focus on areas which have so far been
under-represented in STEP meetings (especially medicine and
technology). We particularly invite contributions with a transnational dimension
(either within Europe, or relations beyond Europe), or with a
philosophical/theoretical angle on the nature of peripheries and their
significance in the history of science, technology and medicine. We would also
be happy to receive suggestions for sessions (not individual
papers) on any other theme that relates to STEP’s interests (see website).
