Before Montucla: Historiography of Science in the Early Modern Era Workshop at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Science and Technology Studies, Bergische Universität Wuppertal, Germany, March 3/4, 2016 During the last decades many new topics, approaches and research agendas emerged in historiography of science. The field extricated itself from descriptive positivism and celebratory Whiggism and began to take account of the various contexts of historical writings, creatively combining methods of the humanities and the social sciences with knowledge of the sciences. Historiography of science, however, still lacks evaluation and interpretation of its own history. In other words, the history of historiography of science has not been written yet. General overviews of the origins of history of science as a discipline usually go back to the end of the 19th century but historiography of science is much older. Some scholars say that it began in classical antiquity, among pupils of Aris...

Closing date: 30th June 2015 Key Information With the university’s centenary in 2020 approaching, the Department of History and Classics, Swansea University, invites applications from suitably-qualified UK/EU candidates for a doctoral studentship, funded by the College of Arts and Humanities, to conduct research on the history of the STEM disciplines at Swansea University. Science has always been at the heart of higher education: it has built the reputation of universities; it has been a matter of conflict in policy decisions; and it has raised fundamental ethical concerns. Since its foundation in 1920, Swansea University has boasted a rich tradition in science, technology, engineering and medicine (STEM) research. This ranges from pioneering work on radar during the Second World War, and contributions to the work of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) by the physics department, to world-leading research currently undertaken in engineering. The recipient of the studen...

The Casebooks Project:  http://www.magicandmedicine.hps.cam.ac.uk Release 9: Richard Napier’s casebooks vols. 12–17 Transcriptions of volumes 12–17 of Napier's casebooks have been released, documenting nearly 7,200 cases from October 1606 to November 1610. Now more than 30,000 of the astrologers’ cases are accessible on the site. A dynamically generated, graphical ‘social relationship network’ feature has been added to the ‘person pages’, and a number of other refinements have been made to the display of Casebooks data. In particular, the ‘Search results summary’ now provides considerably more detailed statistics than it previously did. Please remember that this is work in progress. Feedback and queries are welcome. The project email address is  hpscbs@hermes.cam.ac.uk .
