This call invites contributions that explore the emergence of knowledge and skill in direct dialogue with practice from the late Middle Ages to the early modern period. It builds on the literatures in the history of science and economic history that emphasize the role of practitioners in knowledge-making and technological innovation.  The call aligns with the FIS Starting Grant Project 'Working Knowledge (2025–2028)' and welcomes studies based on sources written by practitioners themselves, including artisans, engineers, practically-minded humanists, instrument makers, skilled workers, and other figures of the mechanical arts. Topics of interest include the application of mathematical procedures to practical fields, the role of manuals and handbooks in knowledge transmission, and the material and social conditions shaping the development and emergence of skill. Contributions should focus on how knowledge evolved through practice and interaction with material culture and social...

Nursing History and Humanities book series:  https://manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/series/nursing-history-and-humanities/ Description The Nursing History and Humanities series is devoted both to historical approaches and humanities perspectives: work that explores nursing and health care cultures over time and place, in moments of pandemic and public health crisis and in creative and critical contexts. The series aims to capture the current challenges facing nurses and health care workers in local and global spaces, even as our books continue to document the long historical trajectories of the profession in structural and organisational terms. The only book series devoted exclusively to nursing pursuits in the world, the editors welcome scholarly manuscripts within and across the fields of nursing history, nationally and internationally, the medical humanities and health studies of nursing practice, and the social histories of race, gender, and sexuality as they pertain to the nu...

IAMMC Conference, 10–13 September 2025 Material Matters. Powerful Objects in Medical Museums and Collections First Biannual Conference of the “International Association of Medical Museums and Collections” (IAMMC), formerly “European Association of Museums of the History of the Medical Sciences” (EAMHMS) The last conference (Leiden 2023) investigated “New Horizons” for medical museums and collections as a whole. The 2025 conference takes a different approach. It seeks to explore the power and needs of the single object in medical museums and collections. How can it serve as a starting point and source for specific research, teaching, and outreach? What are the challenges and opportunities of its sheer materiality? And how does our “care work” in museums and collections open up new approaches for the understanding of the object itself? Furthermore, the current temporary exhibition of the DMMI “Heart of the Matter: Human specimens in the museum” serves as a focus for the sensitive object ...

HoST – Journal of History of Science and Technology  Call for a thematic dossier to be published in 2026  Deadline: 31 March 2025 HoST - Journal of History of Science and  Technology, recently indexed by Scopus, is an open access, on-line peer-reviewed international journal devoted to the History of Science and Technology, published in English by a group of Portuguese research institutions and De Gruyter Brill/Sciendo. HoST encourages submissions of original historical research exploring the cultural, social and political dimensions of science, technology, and medicine (STM), both from a local and a global perspective. Past thematic issues have dealt with topics as diverse as circulation, science communication, natural history, or the relation between science, technology and politics. Future issues might deal with both established and emerging areas of scholarship. The editors of HoST are looking for proposals for a thematic dossier to be published in 2026 (HoST volume 20...

Cohabitability.  Ecologies and Technologies of Living on Earth.  8 th  - 10 th  October 2025.  Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague   Keynotes: Noortje Marres (University of Warwick, UK) Jussi Parikka (Aarhus University, Denmark) Joanna Żylińska (King’s College London, UK)   Organisers: Iwona Janicka, Mark Coeckelbergh, Petr Urban Center for Environmental and Technology Ethics - Prague (CETE-P) Institute of Philosophy of the Czech Academy of Sciences   We are living in a climate emergency. As the reality of climate change begins to bite, the question of the Earth’s habitability has become a major concern in contemporary philosophy, ethics and politics. Yet, the effects of the climate crisis, are not shared by all equally. Indeed, inequalities in habitability conditions are becoming more and more marked, notably across the Global South-Global North divide. At the same time, current developments in emerging technologies—such as AI, bioengineering,...

"The Epistemology of Dark Matter and Modified Gravity"  is a two-day workshop dedicated to exploring the philosophical implications of dark matter and modified gravity. The workshop will bring together physicists, and philosophers to discuss the ontological and epistemological implications of dark matter theory in cosmology. Key Themes: Ontological and Epistemological Questions: What do dark matter and modified gravity imply about the ontology of the universe? How do these phenomena challenge our understanding of scientific realism, anti-realism, or instrumentalism? Scientific Methodology: How do we decide between competing theories and competing models of dark matter? What roles do prediction, explanation, and empirical adequacy play in theory choice? Interdisciplinary Perspectives: Insights from history and philosophy of science on theory change and paradigm shifts. The role of computational and observational tools in shaping theoretical landscapes. Speakers: Chris Smeenk -...

We are delighted to invite applications to attend or contribute to the workshop   Decoding Our Planet: The Making of Geophysics , which will take place at the Royal Institution in London on May 12, 2025. The event is sponsored by the Freer Trust and the Department of History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Cambridge.   This full-day event will explore philosophical and historical perspectives on the study of Earth’s climate system, gravity, internal structure, dynamics, and magnetism. The program will feature a public keynote by Naomi Oreskes (Harvard) and talks by Alisa Bokulich (Boston University), Teru Miyake (Nanyang Technological University), Gregory Good (Emeritus Director of the American Institute of Physics), Katy Duncan (Royal Institution), and Miguel Ohnesorge (University of Cambridge).   This workshop is likely the first of its kind, aiming to foster community-building among scientists, philosophers, and historians interested in geophysical probl...

From Trust to Crisis: Scientific Credibility and Institutional Legitimacy in the 20th Century  Call for panelists for a section at HSS 2025 in New Orleans, November 13-16, 2025.  Throughout the 20th century, science emerged as one of the most trusted social institutions, often supplanting religion as the primary source of epistemic authority. This trust, however, was neither static nor unchallenged. Institutions frequently appropriated the credibility of science to legitimize their policies, reinforce ideological agendas, or justify governance strategies. This strategic deployment of scientific authority took various forms, from the use of experts in decision-making processes to rhetorical claims of "scientific planning," "science-based modernization," and "scientific management. The intersection of science and institutional trust raises important historical questions. What mechanisms did institutions use to cultivate and maintain their association with scienti...
