HSTM session at Science Communication Conference, Manchester, July?

The Science Communication Conference, an annual series organised by the British Science Association with the Wellcome Trust and attracting a largely practitioner audience, will be meeting in Manchester on Thursday 18 and Friday 19 June. Details at:

As the Centre for the History of Science, Technology and Medicine is soon to launch a taught Master's in Science Communication, which will be practice-focused but with close connections to local research work in HSTM and science policy studies, we thought this would be a good opportunity to propose a session about the interconnections in this area -- working title "What can history offer to science communication?"

This is, of course, an area in which many historians in and around the UK community have experience, and we'd be pleased to hear from anyone who might like to contribute to this session. The format of the proposal will probably be informal discussion-based. At this stage we only need expressions of interest, but the deadline for proposals is Friday 9 January, so please drop me a line soon to get in touch.
