  Submission is now open for proposals for symposia to be presented at the BSPS 2021 Annual Conference in Kent on 7–9 July 2021.   The deadline for submitting symposium proposals is 25 January 2021 . Overview A symposium should involve several presenters, typically 3-4, organised around a topic of interest. Symposia may be on any topic in the philosophy of science. A maximum of 90 minutes of space on the programme will be allocated to successful symposia. The symposia will be selected by the BSPS committee. The committee will strive for quality, variety, innovation, and diversity on the programme; ideally the programme will reflect the full range of current work in the philosophy of science. Symposia that make connections with, or include, working scientists are warmly invited. We will not be considering ‘Author Meets Critics’ sessions, but topical sessions that build upon recently published books are acceptable.   Instructions Proposals must include sufficient supporting...

  16-17 September 2021 Université de Neuchâtel In the early modern age, the question of fire management was central to the evolution of scientific practices, including applied physics and chemistry, but also to the development of technology, especially in fields where the transformation of matter through heating played a central role, such as artisanal practices (brewing, glasswork, ferrous metallurgy) and cooking. In the technological sphere, the question of fire management was closely related to economic issues, since the technical organization of households, laboratories and manufactures had to comply with the management of material resources (materials, fuel) and the rationalization of time and labor (reducing the waste while enhancing productivity). The aim of the workshop F ire Management in the Early Modern Age: Knowledge, Technology, Economy  is to reflect on the question of fire management in the period 1600-1800, along the lines of inquiry described below. a. The kno...

Author:   Miquel Carandell Baruzzi In  The Orce Man: Controversy, Media and Politics in Human Origins Research , Miquel Carandell presents a thrilling story of a controversy on an Spanish “First European” that involved scientists, politicians and newspapers. In the early 1980s, with Spanish democracy in its beginnings, the Orce bone was transformed from a famous human ancestor to an apparently ridiculous donkey remain. With a chronological narrative, this book is not centered on whether the bone was human or not, but on the circumstances that made a certain claim credible or not, from both the scientific community and the general public. Carandell’s analysis draws on the thin line that separates success from failure and the role of media and politics in the controversy. Url:  https://brill.com/view/title/54320

Annual Design History Society Conference Deadline: 02 February 2021 Memory Full? Reimagining the Relations between Design and History 2-4 September 2021 | FHNW Academy of Art and Design, Basel, Switzerland One of the core questions of the Call for Papers when it was originally published in late 2019 was “How can the memory of design be interpreted, shared, mined or performed?”. Despite the enthusiastic response to the call, with over 250 applications received, the conference was postponed and rethought in the wake of the 2020 pandemic outbreak and the attendant rapid reconfiguration of social space. The question gained a renewed urgency in the light of the global wave of indignation that followed the latest string of deaths at the hands of law enforcement in the United States, and the subsequent calls for action to unearth, understand, and disarm the deep histories of violently acquired hegemony. The convenor team acknowledges that the events of 2020 had a palpable impact on the academ...

  German Idealism has commonly been conceived as a period in the history of ideas in which the structure of mind is converted into the grounding principle of reality and nature. This assessment has a twofold consequence. On one hand, the philosophy of the period has been praised for its contributions to our understanding of multiple expressions of human rationality such as morality, history, art, religion, society and politics. On the other hand, it has been heavily criticized for its speculative character alien to the standards of scientific practice. As a consequence, the philosophy of nature developed at the time has been dismissed as a piece of dogmatic metaphysics of little philosophical and scientific interest. However, recent studies have contributed to call this assessment into question. It has been argued that the philosophy of nature of the period contributed to later scientific discoveries, especially in the field of electromagnetism and chemistry (Friedman 2007, 2013), ...

  We are pleased to invite proposals for presentations at an online workshop to be held 29–30 April 2021 on the topic of Marriages, Couples, and the Making of Mathematical Careers. This workshop proposes to explore the role of marriage and other domestic partnerships in the lived practice and constructed memory of mathematics. Though mathematicians are often imagined as the quintessential solitary researchers, many have managed the daily routines of a mathematical career through partnership with a spouse who was intimately involved in their working life or the posthumous construction of their legacy. Whilst marriage is certainly not the unique social form such collaboration can take, it does offer an especially clear window on the unstable boundaries dividing labour into the intellectual and the domestic, the masculinized and the feminized, the credited and the unacknowledged. We welcome proposals exploring any aspect of intimate partnerships in the history of mathematics. We are e...

The Chair for Science, Technology, and Gender Studies (STGS) at Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg will be established on 1 January 2021. Being highly interdisciplinary, the chair is unique within the German academic system. We think across the traditional divide between the social sciences and humanities on one side and the natural sciences and engineering on the other. Our aim is to identify what has been historically taken for granted as legitimate model of knowledge; make visible the sociocultural and gender aspects of technoscience that are often hidden; engage in the design process of technoscience in a collaborative and cooperative manner; extend our agenda to science policy and science diplomacy. Overall, the STGS stands at the crossroad of Science and Technology Studies, Gender Science Studies, Transnational History of Science, and the emerging Diplomatic Studies of Science. To support and develop the chair’s research projects we seek an outstanding female...

University Bristol/University of Southampton/SS Great Britain Trust/AHRC Collaborative   PhD studentship:               Maritime Migrations: Transfers and Displacements in Britain’s and Australia’s Nineteenth-century Exchange  Application deadline: Monday 25 th  January 2021 This project examines the role played by empires, oceans, and trans-national maritime networks in laying the foundations for modern processes of globalisation, deploying a range of methods and approaches from within and beyond the discipline of History. The student will examine how intersections between maritime networks, markets and states shaped migratory transfers and displacements between Britain and Australia in the nineteenth century. Research will be grounded in the collections of the SS Great Britain Trust. The project seeks to overcome the ‘blue hole’ – the often absent factor of maritime forces – in our historical understanding of t...
