CFP reminder: History of Technology and Science Days, Um
Welcome to the History of Technology and Science
Days/Teknik- och vetenskaphistoriska dagar 2013!
Conference webpage:
The conference welcomes researchers, including PhD
students, from within the field of history of science and technology and all
related fields in the humanities and social sciences, as well as researchers
and participants from museums and the culture heritage sector.
The conference is open to presentations or sessions on
any theme, topic, or period related to the history of science and technology,
but we especially welcome proposals that explicitly engage and intersect with
the following three emerging interdisciplinary approaches:
These rapidly expanding research areas encompass a
multitude of visions, methodological directions, theoretical perspectives, and
objects of study, but all represent efforts to reformulate and revitalize the
relationship between the humanities and society within their topical areas. We
are interested in exploring the ways in which the history of science and
technology is, and can be, represented in these emerging fields. What are the
main contributions and challenges for historians of science and technology
working within the digital, environmental, or medical humanities? How do such
engagements support, challenge, or reshape classic narratives and approaches in
the history of science and technology? Do they enable new areas of research?
