The Society for Industrial Archeology’s 54th Annual Conference will be held in Norfolk, Va., May 28 through 31, 2026. Conference Webpage https://www.sia-web.org/2026-sia-annual-conference-norfolk-virginia/ Located at the mouth of the James River near where the Chesapeake Bay meets the Atlantic, the Hampton Roads area offers a uniquely continuous and comprehensive narrative of American maritime industrial development. From the founding of the Gosport Yard in 1767 (now the Norfolk Naval Shipyard) to today's fully automated container terminals, the region remains a major transshipment center from the Lambert’s Point coal piers and Kinder Morgan Bulk Terminals in Newport News. The region's industrial landscape showcases every major phase of maritime technology and parallel advancements in civil engineering. The SIA Norfolk conference plans to explore a wide range of sites. The tour of the Norfolk Naval Shipyard will include Dry Dock No. 1, the oldest continuously used dry dock in t...

Conference venue : Department of Philosophy, Logic, and Philosophy of Science, University of Seville, Spain. Interactions between the philosophy of causality and investigations of inferential practices in the sciences, particularly medicine, have yielded key developments across disciplines. One such example is evidential pluralism, arguing for broadening the evidence range beyond difference-making to overcome the rigidity of evidence-based medicine. Further interdisciplinary engagements can assess the adequacy of different philosophical analyses of causation and corresponding causal concepts with respect to particular scientific problems or areas or draw on practices from the sciences to adjust the philosophical toolkit. At the same time, there are also challenges to address, such as working across areas with different, sometimes conflicting, methods and approaches. This conference aims to bring together current research dealing with causality and inferential practices in the health sc...

In the United States, World AIDS Day (1st of December) is often marked as a “Day Without Art”, an initiative launched in 1989 by Visual AIDS to commemorate artists and activists lost to AIDS and to highlight its impact on the art world. While this gesture fosters collective memory and solidarity, it can also limit the understanding of HIV/AIDS visuality, reducing it to absence, mourning, and silence. This issue of The View seeks to explore the full spectrum of visual practices related to HIV/AIDS — not only those that disappear, but also those that create, document, protest, support, and transform. This issue invites contributions that critically explore the visual dimensions of the HIV/AIDS — its representations, absences, and the role of visuality in shaping knowledge, institutions and structures of power, memory, and community We warmly encourage authors both to also look beyond the field of art (press, television, social media, popular culture, fashion) and to engage with a wide ra...
