This special issue will be published in the journal  Estudos Históricos  (Qualis A1 / Scopus Q1) by the end of 2024.   Hunger and malnutrition have ceased to be complementary topics in history books and have become central objects of study. Changes in eating habits and the contexts surrounding them involve the correlation of numerous factors, which in recent decades have begun to attract the attention of historians and social scientists. This special issue aims to bring together articles that address the complex relationships between food, health, and environment over the last century in Latin America and the Global South. We want to focus on the processes of production, circulation, appropriation and application of knowledge and scientific instruments to understand and intervene in the problems related to these issues. From agricultural experimentation, promotion and extension to nutritional research and education and food control and assistance, various experts, institu...

The journal Galilaeana. Studies in Renaissance and Early Modern Science invites submissions of abstracts on THE ART OF MEMORY AND THE SCIENCES IN THE EARLY MODERN AGE. Edited by Tommaso Ghezzani (Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa/Université de Genève) and Clément Poupard (Università di Torino/ École Normale Supérieure de Paris) Deadline for the submission of abstracts: 15 May 2023. The art of memory encompasses techniques for memorization that have been passed down from classical culture, particularly within the context of rhetorical training. For centuries, mnemonics were part of the trivium and only became an independent discipline during the Renaissance. This was due in part to the radical changes of the time, ranging from the invention of the printing press to the so-called Scientific Revolution, which led to an unprecedented production and dissemination of knowledge.  In his book Clavis Universalis (1960), Paolo Rossi emphasized the importance of mnemonic knowledge in the devel...

The DEEPMED Project ( Discovering the Deep Mediterranean Environment: A History of Science and Strategy, 1860-2020   http://grupo.us.es/deepmed/  ) at the Universidad de Sevilla (Spain), funded by the European Research Commission (Consolidator Grant) is seeking:   1 Post-doc (PD2; full time; 3 years)   -         PhD (awarded by the time of appointment) in history of science and technology, STS, economic history, diplomatic history, history of law, international relations, or related fields. -         Preferably (but not exclusively) with linguistic competences relevant to the Eastern Mediterranean.   Led by PI Lino Camprubí, DEEPMED explores the  historical discovery of the 3D Mediterranean  in three different but interrelated domains: science and technology, strategy, and environment. Its main hypothesis is that the co-evolution of scientific and strategic approaches to the deep Med...

We invite authors to submit abstracts of approximately 500 words for a conference entitled “History of the Philosophy of Pregnancy,” hosted by the Philosophy Department of the University of Dayton, as part of its Richard R. Baker colloquia series (Dayton, OH, USA). The conference will be held on October 6-7 th , 2023. The conference is open for in-person and virtual presentations. Please see below for details.  Keynote Speaker: Dr. Sara Brill (Fairfield University) Our conference is motivated by the dearth of historical scholarship on the philosophy of pregnancy. Historical scholarship on reproduction tends to focus on the conception and development of the embryo  -- 'generation' and 'embryology' -- treating the developing organism as an independent entity. As a consequence, pregnancy is written out of the causal story. The goal of this conference is to recover a history of the philosophy of pregnancy and bring the work and experiences of the pregnant individual into...

Translating Knowledge:  From Theory to Praxis, June 2-3, 2023 Sociology and Social Anthropology Graduate Conference, Central European University, Vienna Submission Deadline:  April 30, 2023 Keynote speakers: John Clarke , Emeritus Professor of Social Policy, The Open University, UK Shahram Khosravi , Professor of Anthropology, Stockholm University, Sweden  Translating academic knowledge into social praxis has always been a central question for critical theory. This is particularly true in an age of polycrisis. Neoliberal globalization has intensified the exploitation of natural resources, the financialization of social reproduction, and the precarization of labor. Climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic, and housing precarity yield a unique moment that urges us to consider how to bridge the gap between academic and practical knowledge. Moreover, the rise of chauvinist discourses and authoritarian political regimes around the world, often accompanied by outright ...

The submission of articles for the special issue of the journal Lato Sensu dedicated to Vagueness in Sciences is now open.  We remind you that we accept contributions associated with all types of science, and that there are no strict guidelines regarding the size of the articles submitted. The objective of this special issue is to open up the reflection on the notion of vagueness from the prism of the philosophy of science, with the aim of questioning the meaning of this notion in different fields of scientific research. The call is open to all contributions (in French or in English) on this theme. You can submit directly via the dedicated platform here:  https://ojs.uclouvain.be/ index.php/latosensu/about/ submissions   Here are some examples of possible questions (non-exhaustive list): 1. What does vagueness mean in different areas of research? Should we consider it as something multidimensional? Is it present in all areas? If so, in what ways? Does vagueness favour cer...

Science and Art in the Wake of Darwin Michael Boulter Free download:  https://bit.ly/ 40xc130 Bloomsbury Scientists  is the story of the network of scientists and artists living in a square mile of London before and after the First World War. This inspired group of men and women viewed creativity and freedom as the driving force behind nature, and each strove to understand this in their own inventive way. Their collective energy changed the social m ood of the era and brought a new synthesis of knowledge to ideas in science and art. Class barriers were threatened as power shifted from the landed oligarchy to those with talent and the will to make a difference. A time of unexpected opportunities, from the new disciplines of Genetics and Ecology to Post-Impressionism and beyond, Michael Boulter seamlessly weaves together the stories originating from Bloomsbury’s laboratories, libraries and studios. He narrates the breakthroughs of scientists such as Ray Lankester and Marie Stope...

International Conference at the  University of California, Santa Barbara  on April 11-13, 2024 Conveners:   Martin Klimke  (New York University Abu Dhabi) and  Amanda M. Nichols  (University of California, Santa Barbara) ABOUT The detrimental effects of carbon-based fuel sources, including and especially their contribution to anthropogenic climate change, has motivated scientists to develop alternative renewable energy solutions. Among those, nuclear power has been the most highly contested because of the associated risks to the health and stability of ecological systems. Many scientists argue that a carbon-neutral energy future is not feasible without the continued development of nuclear power technologies. Anti-nuclear activists, however, have long argued that the potential associated dangers to the health and stability of ecological systems make nuclear power an unnecessarily risky response to the global energy crisis. They have expressed conce...
