CfP: Canadian Society for the History and Philosophy of Science 2014
CSHPS/SCHPS is a Canadian forum bringing together
historians, philosophers, sociologists, and a wide range of interdisciplinary
scholars interested in exploring all aspects of science, past and present. Its
newsletter is the Communiqué and its annual conference takes place within the
Congress of Social Sciences and Humanities.
CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
The Canadian Society for the History and Philosophy of
Science (CSHPS) is holding its annual conference as part of the Congress of the
Humanities and Social Sciences (CFHSS) at Brock University, May 24-26, 2014.
The program committee invites scholars working on the
history and philosophy of science to submit abstracts for individual papers or
proposals for sessions. Proposals for sessions (3 and 4 paper) are particularly
encouraged.
• Meeting languages. The CSHPS is a bilingual
society. Individual papers may be given
in English or French, but efforts to broaden participation are appreciated
(e.g. a presentation in English could be accompanied by a PowerPoint in French,
and vice versa). Similarly, sessions can be presented in either English or
French, but bilingual sessions are especially welcomed.
• Joint sessions: The CSHPS meeting overlaps with the
meeting dates of a number of other member societies of the CFHSS, including the
Canadian Historical Association, Canadian Philosophical Association, Canadian
Association for the History and Philosophy of Mathematics, Canadian
Sociological Association, Women’s and Gender Studies et Recherches Féministes,
Canadian Society for the History of Medicine and the Environmental Studies
Association of Canada. We welcome proposals for joint sessions with these and
other societies. However, no talk will be accepted for presentation at more
than one society.
• Number of submissions : Individuals can only submit one
abstract for the CSHPS meeting (i.e. either an abstract for an individual paper
or and abstract part of a session proposal).
• Submissions
o In order to preserve the anonymity of authors, it is
important that contact information and other identifying information be
excluded from the file containing the abstract.
o Individual paper submissions should consist of a title,
a brief abstract
(150-250 words), and—in the accompanying email—the
author’s name and contact information.
o Session proposals should consist of a session title,
titles and brief abstracts (150-250 words) for each paper, and—in the
accompanying email—the names and contact information of the presenters and
session organizer.
o Proposals should be in MS Word, pdf, or rtf format.
o Deadline: February 2nd, 2014
o Submission email address: program.cshps@gmail.com

at the time of the meeting. For more information about CSHPS membership,
