3rd IU Graduate Student Conference on the History and Philosophy of Science and Medicine. 29th and 30th March, 2019. Indiana University Bloomington, Dept. of History and Philosophy of Science and Medicine, Submission Deadline: January 1st, 2019
The
Indiana University Department of History and Philosophy of Science and
Medicine and HPS Graduate Students Association are calling for
submissions from graduate students working on topics relating to the
history and/or philosophy of science for its third graduate student
conference in the spring of 2019. Submissions are welcome on a breadth
of historical or philosophical topics in the sciences. This conference
is intended to be an opportunity for graduate students to share their
work, make connections, and receive feedback from peers and faculty in a
congenial environment. The anticipated schedule is for 30 minute
student presentations, followed by a 10 minute response by a student
commentator, and 15-20 minutes for follow-up questions and discussion.
There will also be a poster session reception intended to facilitate
discussion, particularly suited to works in their early stages of
progress, ideas on new methodologies or tools in HPS, or novel ways of
extending HPS into the public sphere.
Submissions: Please
submit papers or extended outlines suitable for a 30 minute talk, or an
abstract or description (~250 words) of a topic for a poster. Dual
submissions for talks and posters (on related or unrelated topics) are
allowed. Email submissions to iuhpsconf@gmail.com on or before January 1st. Acceptances will be sent out in early February.
All
graduate students are welcome to attend. If you are planning to attend
and would be interested in commenting, please email us with areas of
interest by January 1st, and, depending on availability, we will send
you an appropriate paper to comment on as soon as acceptances are
issued.
