New online resource available at the University of Geneva: an "Interactive Historical Atlas of the Disciplines". The website is in open access here:  http://atlas-disciplines.unige .ch This atlas aims at mapping the evolution of the disciplinary borders of  science over time, as well as tracing back the successive redefinitions  of scientific disciplines throughout the centuries. Furthermore, the  project is open to scholarly (reviewed) participation: each disciplinary map comes with dedicated tools for adding content or bibliographic entries.

The Young Scholars Network of the European Society for the History of Science was founded to better integrate graduate students and early career researches in the activities of the Society and in the field of history of science and give them the opportunity to connect with each other. Our first Young Scholars Conference will be held at the Paris Observatory, September 10th - 12th, 2019. We invite submissions for individual papers and symposia which address the main topic of the conference: Transcultural Knowledge. This topic includes (but is not limited to) the transmission of knowledge from one culture to another and its transformation in the process, new knowledge emerging from the use of known traditions, transnational knowledge, the significance of culture in history of science and history of knowledge, circulation of scientific knowledge by translations and transliterations, merging traditions, influences of cultural background of scientists on the...

Url: https://sip2019.com/call-for-contributions The Science in Public Conference 2019 will be held in Manchester, UK from Wednesday 10 to Friday 12 July 2019. Science in Public is an interdisciplinary annual conference addressing how scientific practice, science communication, science policy, and representations of science interact with the wider world. We aim to bring together researchers and practitioners from a variety of fields to explore how activities and understandings in these fields have developed in the past, where they now stand, and how they might develop in future. Conference theme and aims This year’s theme is ‘ the global and the local ’. We are particularly keen to encourage proposals addressing questions such as the following: What lessons can we learn from science communication practice, public engagement, and science policy work that’s built around the needs of local communities or local opportunities? What are the opportunities and pitfalls of sca...

Title: Contemporary Applications of the Actor Network Theory Proposal deadline: 30th June, 2019 Editor:  Dr. Idongesit Williams.

It has been used in the analysis of social interactions, socio-technical systems, the social construction of technology and in the analysis in the transformation of different networks. Actor Network Theory lacks universal constructs and hence possess a...

2nd Annual Phenomenological Approaches to Physics Conference.  Quantum Mechanics: Paradigm or Ontology of Nature? SEPTEMBER 26-28, 2019.  STONY BROOK UNIVERSITY Recently, a number of phenomenologically inspired thinkers have devoted attention to quantum mechanics. For these thinkers, quantum mechanics brings attention to the ways that scientific phenomena are produced within subjective frames of knowledge and experimentation. A persistent question for these interpretations is whether the mathematical formalism and experimental data of quantum mechanics represent reality as it is ‘in itself,’ or whether they constitute merely  subjective  beliefs and models based on the appearing of certain kinds of phenomena. Some philosophers of science struggle to normalize issues of quantum physics in terms of traditional realisms that present quantum phenomena as indications of a need for an entirely new ontology of nature. On the other hand, others resist these ontolo...
