This is an opportunity to work on a Wellcome Trust funded project on the dog in science and medicine in the twentieth century, focusing particularly on genetics and physiology. You will join a project where former members have worked on the dog in veterinary medicine and the behavioural sciences, and on changing attitudes to the risks associated with dogs. This post would suit scholars with a background in the history of biology, the history of the biomedical science, or the history of medicine. Your key responsibilities will be to engage in independent research closely related to the aims of the grant, developing publications also closely related to the aims of the grant, including articles in peer reviewed journals and work towards an academic monograph. You should have completed, or shortly be about to hold a PhD, (or equivalent), in the history of biology, or the history of medicine, or the history of veterinary medicine in the twentieth century.

Deadline for paper submission:  March 30th , 2017 . Publication of the issue:  July, 2017 . We are expecting to receive submissions related to Duhemian History of Science, and the impact it caused in the subsequent historiography. Thus comparative analysis between Duhem and other authors is welcomed, as well as case studies that search to evaluate the conception of scientific development advocated by the French author, exploring its current relevance and intrinsic limits. Considering the characteristic of Duhem’s unity of thought, articles addressing his philosophy of science in relation to his apologetic project with the philosophy and history of science will be appreciated. We are also expecting book reviews of Pierre Duhem’s recent translations or reprints, as well as books about the Duhemian work. In addition to English articles,  Transversal: International Journal for the Historiography of Science   accepts articles in French, Portug...

The British Society for the History of Science is delighted to announce the publication online of a new translation with commentary of Gregor Mendel's landmark 1866 paper "Experiments on Plant Hybrids" -- the first in a new, freely accessible BSHS Translations series, seeking to make historically important or neglected writings from the scientific past more widely available.

How do corporations know themselves and their world? Over the last 150 years, corporations, like universities and laboratories, have generated an abundance of knowledge-making techniques in the form of psychological tests, efficiency technologies, scenario planning, and logistical systems. As dominant forms of the last century, corporations are assembled with instruments, infrastructures, and interventions that arrange and rearrange the dynamics of capitalism. These techniques of the corporation have filtered into our daily lives, influencing everyday understandings of self, inequality, environment, and society.  Techniques of the Corporation will assemble an interdisciplinary network of established and emerging scholars whose work contributes to the critical study of the techniques, epistemologies, and imaginaries of the 20th-century corporation. This conference aims to foster a timely conversation between Science and Technology Studies (STS) approaches and the recent histories...
