CfP: Contemplating Science, Medicine, and Technology: Past and Present Challenges, Münster, 22-24 September 2017
Contemplating Science, Medicine, and Technology: Past and Present Challenges
Date: 22–24 September 2017
Venue: University of Münster, Germany
The
Society for the History of Science, Medicine, and Technology
(Gesellschaft für Geschichte der Wissenschaften, der Medizin und der
Technik, GWMT) invites paper and panel proposals for its first annual
conference.
We encourage submissions dealing with all aspects of
the relation between historical and systematic reflections and science,
medicine, and technology, as well as submissions focusing on the current
situation of the historiographies of these fields. Two broader
questions stand out: First, historical examples for the use of ‘history’
in social, political, and economical debates about science, medicine,
and technology. Second, the relation between the present-day
historiographies of science, medicine, and technology and other fields
of critical and systematic reflection, as for example gender studies,
STS, sociology, philosophy, cultural and media studies.
We also
invite proposals for papers and panels about the history of science,
medicine, and technology that do not directly pertain to the conference
topic.
