Virtual Conference Organizers: Dr Amelia Bonea (University of Heidelberg) & Dr Irina Nastasă-Matei (University of Bucharest) 7-8 May 2021 Submission deadline: 15 January 2021 The twentieth century has often been hailed as a period when women became important in science, but their participation in scientific inquiry and practice often remains buried, quite literally, in the footnotes of specialist publications and studies of the history of science. Even today, national statistics about women in science are not always easily available. The data that does exist suggests there is significant regional and cultural variation in how women engage with science globally. Recent UNESCO surveys, for example, point to a contrast between the former Soviet republics of Central Asia, where almost half of the researchers employed in science are female, and East, South and West Asia, where that proportion drops significantly to 23 percent or less. Similarly, in Eastern European countries female rese...

  Old Age Care in Times of Crisis, Past & Present Symposium 8-9 April 2021 Birkbeck & London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, University of London   Rarely in recent history has a global event such as the current pandemic brought care for older people into sharper focus. Now, as in the past, many struggle physically and/or mentally, due to a range of bio-psycho-social factors. The provision of care for older people has involved a host of actors from international agencies and NGOs, national and local governments, charities, campaigners, medical and care professionals, and, of course, families and community networks. What has happened to these endeavours, and to old age care as a whole, in times of crisis? Does crisis bring change – for better or worse – in the practices, ideas, cultures, laws, and structures surrounding care for older people? In a two-day, cross-disciplinary symposium, we will consider how social care, medical treatment, and the rights of older...

Recreation, Parks, and Tourism in Public Health (ISSN 2474-1825, e-ISSN 2474-1833) is an interdisciplinary journal focusing on parks, recreation, and tourism’s impact on public health.

For a new edited collection with De Gruyter based on the #RecordCovid19 Project we are inviting contributors to submit proposals historicizing the experience of the pandemic. We particularly seek chapters based around themes that emerge from the first-hand accounts submitted to #RecordCovid19 as well as wider research. Contributors will ideally come from a range of disciplines including history, sociology, political science, linguistics, and media studies. Interdisciplinary approaches are particularly welcome. Proposals should be inspired but not limited by the themes arising from the #RecordCovid19 Project. Proposals for chapters are welcome by early career scholars as well as established researchers alike. Final chapters should be around 4,500 – 5,000 words. Details of the #RecordCovid19 project can be found at: https://kristopherlovell.com/category/record-covid-19-project/     Proposal Deadline: 20 November 2020  For proposals accepted the final deadline for completed ...

  During the 20th century and up to the recent outbreak of gravitational astronomy, the art of observing the cosmos has deeply changed both in terms of the concept of 'telescope' itself and in the variety of cosmic probes involved – in sensing light, for example, or in detecting cosmic particles or gravitational waves. The interface between novel research questions and the development of cutting-edge technologies has disclosed new windows on the visible and the invisible, the dark and bright side of the Universe, leading to multi-wave and ultimately to multi-messenger astronomy, and returning an increasingly composite and multifaceted picture of cosmic space. The workshop aims at bringing together a broad range of topics related to the history and epistemology of the new astronomies, as the evolution of experiments and research tools, the transition to Big science, the emergence of new research fields and of new forms of scientific collaboration, and the impact of these proces...
