The International Committee for the History of Technology (ICOHTEC) will hold its 44th Symposium in Rio de Janeiro Brazil, on 23-29 July 2017. This meeting will take place in conjunction with the 25th International Congress of the History of Science and Technology (http://www.ichst2017.sbhc.org.br). The general theme of the Congress is Science, Technology and Medicine between the Global and the Local.
The Program Committee of ICOHTEC suggests interpreting this theme
broadly and encourages studies of the History of Science, Technology and
Medicine at global, national and local levels, across all periods, and
from a variety of methodological and historiographical approaches. The
Program Committee has defined some subthemes, which are listed in the
full Call for Papers.
The symposium covers all periods and areas
of the globe. We invite submissions of new, original and unpublished
work that offers fresh perspectives for the history of technology as
well as exploring sources and methods.
ICOHTEC welcomes proposals
for individual papers and posters, but preference will be given to
organised sessions of three or more papers. The Program Committee will
also consider submissions not directly related to the symposium theme
providing that they relate to the history of technology broadly defined.
Therefore, proposals dealing with interrelationships between the
environment and technology are also welcome.
All proposals must be in English, and should be submitted electronically by 29 February 2016 via our website http://icohtec.org/annual-meeting/cfp-system/2017-rio/ . Please, find the Call for Papers via the link: http://www.icohtec.org/annual-meeting-2017-cfp.html
