CfP: BSHS PG Virtual Conference 2021 Call for Papers

 School of Philosophy, Religion and History of Science, University of Leeds

The call for papers for the 2021 British Society for the History of Science Postgraduate Conference is now open.

Given the ongoing situation in the UK and abroad related to Covid-19, we have chosen to hold a virtual conference which will take place from Monday 12 April to Friday 16 April 2021.

We welcome papers from graduate students working in the history of science, technology and medicine, related to any period of history and to any geographical area. We are committed to providing a truly international forum for scholarly discussion and exchange and encourage graduate students, from any nationality, to apply.

Papers should be 10 - 12 minutes long (up to 12 minutes). Papers will be delivered in the format of a pre-recorded video but will be followed by a live discussion with panel speakers and audience members. Joint submissions for three-person panels are also welcome.

We invite you to submit a title and abstract of up to 250 words with your name, affiliation and contact details. For joint submissions, we require that an additional 100-word panel abstract be submitted. The deadline for applications is Monday 8 February 2021. We will notify applicants by mid-February with regard to the status of their application.

Applications should be sent to the organising committee at bshspg2020@gmail.com
