This series tackles the relationship between health and the environment, paying particular attention to changes occurring over time and across place. It seeks to illuminate the causes and consequences of human, more-than-human, and environmental ill-health, while also attending to possibilities for well-being, flourishing, and repair. Encouraging an expanded notion of health, Environment, Health, and Well-being presents scholarship that considers human well-being as directly correlated with health systems; extends the notion of health and well-being beyond the purely human frame; and interrogates planetary health through specific landscapes, ecologies, and human and more-than-human activities. Recognizing the ecological, political, social, and viral turbulence of our current times, the monographs and edited collections in this series look to interdisciplinary practice within the field of the environmental humanities as a way of understanding the present, reflecting upon the past, and r...

The John Rylands Research Institute and Library, Deansgate, Manchester, UK.  23-24 March 2023 Deadline: submissions should be emailed to Kate Gibson (University of Manchester) and Claudia Soares (Newcastle University) at compassionandcare2023@gmail.com by 30 October 2022. The care system in the UK is under increasing pressure: systematic budget cuts, prolonged austerity, and sustained issues with staff recruitment, retention and burnout have all contributed to the crumbling of the nation’s care agencies. Independent care reviews across the UK have highlighted the need to reform and ‘reset’ the system of children’s social care, so that lifelong loving, supportive and nurturing relationships are placed at its heart. These reviews have occurred in the midst of growing demand for accountability and transparency in care processes and defence of the rights of Care Experienced people to access their records and know their history. Moreover, across the globe, carers and care work – usuall...

Contributions are invited for the new CSMBR Blog FORMA FLUENS: HISTORIES OF THE MICROCOSM: here . Forma Fluens (“flowing form”) is a blog dedicated to the history of the body. A metaphor for life itself, as a rhythmic flow that alters the shape and the diachronic identity of the human being, the Blog aims at providing scholars at any stage of their career with a platform to share knowledge about the intellectual, cultural, social and material history of the body (500-1800 AD), with a view to reaching out to the curious reader and to a wider audience. Articles, book reviews, and commentaries on ongoing projects are welcome. Contributions should not exceed 1200 words, spaces included, and ten footnotes. Material from the blog counts as a regular online publication and must be credited as per the title, author, affiliation and sources displayed. For queries or to express an interest in submitting an article, feel free to contact the centre at info@csmbr.fondazionecomel.org .

How do practices of "filtering"—technical, racial, cultural, political, environmental, and otherwise—produce the ecologies of modern life? How might a theory of filtering encompassing technological and cultural operations better explain the forms of control, responsibility, and incompetence ordering modern life? We invite papers addressing these questions from fields including media studies, cultural studies, histories of science and technology, human-computer interaction, digital humanities and informatics. We understand filtering as a fundamental technique that enables human and non-human actors to shape and create environments through differentiation. The environments emerging from processes of filtering are interconnected and encompass several dimensions. They are always material, but also invoke the symbolic and social (Cubasch et al 2021; Razghandi and Yaghmaei 2020). We consider these filtered environments as powerscapes that are shaped by constellations of interests, ...

The Joint Commission of the International Union for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology (IUHPST) invites submissions for symposia to be presented at the XVIIth Congress on Logic, Methodology, and Philosophy of Science and Technology (CLMPST) , taking place July 24-29, 2023 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The Joint Commission brings together the IUHPST’s Divisions of Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science and Technology (DLMPST) and History of Science and Technology (DHST), promoting work that genuinely integrates historical and philosophical perspectives on science and technology. At each Congress, it organizes symposia that showcase such work. We thus invite submissions for symposium proposals aligned with the JC’s mission. We are especially interested in proposals that align with the Congress’s theme, Science and Values in an Uncertain World, although we welcome proposals on any topic. Symposia should include at least four speakers. Proposals should consist of a 5...

The "Russell 150" conference is organized in partnership between the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Bucharest (through its Department for Theoretical Philosophy and the Center for Logic, Philosophy and History of Science) and the Romanian Academy's "Constantin Rădulescu-Motru" Institute of Philosophy and Psychology. The event is scheduled to take place November 4-5, 2022. It will have a mixed format, in that speakers may choose whether they present online only, or face to face at the event's location (if so, their session will enjoy a live audience, but it will also be streamed to remote participants).

The Friends of the Archives at the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries are delighted to announce a new small grants scheme. The Friends will award up to 4 grants each year, each of £250, to support researchers to use the Society’s collections. The grants are intended to encourage researchers to use the collections either as the main focus of their project, or as part of a larger research proposal. We are keen to widen further use of the collections and engage with a wider range of researchers. Grants are available to all, although applications are particularly welcomed from those early in their research careers, independent researchers or those who are precariously employed. Further details are provided in the guidance document, and applications should be made using the standard form. They are available here: https://www.apothecaries.org/history/our-collection-and-access/ We would be very grateful if you would share details with your colleagues/networks/students/members as appropria...
