CfP: Society for the History of Alchemy and Chemistry's 10th Annual Post-grad Workshop
SHAC’s
annual series of workshops fosters interdisciplinary exchange among
graduate students and early career scholars from any field whose work
engages with the history of alchemy and chemistry.
We
welcome abstracts that deal with this year’s topic within any
historical period and geographical region. Projects pertaining to the
social construction of knowledge, the intellectual history of alchemy
and chemistry, cultural shifts in scientific ideology over time, natural
philosophical knowledge networks, and other creative interpretations of
this year’s theme are encouraged. Please be prepared to give a short
presentation of your work and participate in discussion.
There
will be two keynote presentations from Dr. Marieke Hendriksen (Utrecht
University) and Dr. Simon Werrett (University College London), as well
as a guided tour of the special texts and objects housed at the Ritman
Library led by Head of the Ritman Research Institute, Dr. Peter Forshaw.
Please send a 350 word abstract and your CV by 1 June, 2019 to SHAC Student Representative, Megan Piorko, at studentrep@ambix.org. If applicable, indicate your interest in a competitive travel stipend.
Sponsored by the Ritman Library and the Society for the History of Alchemy and Chemistry.
