CfP: British Society for the History of Mathematics 'Research in Progress'
The British Society for the History of Mathematics will be holding 'Research in Progress', its annual meeting for research students, at The Queen's College, Oxford, on Saturday 7th March 2026. The meeting will be held in person only, and will be held in English. The day provides an opportunity for early-career scholars in the history of mathematics to showcase their current research, and will conclude this year with a keynote lecture by Prof. Tinne Hoff Kjeldsen (University of Copenhagen).
Talks will be around 20 minutes each (followed by time for questions). Research students who are interested in offering a presentation are invited to send a proposed title and abstract (of no more than 250 words) to Christopher Hollings by 30th November 2025. Please include details of your university, supervisor, and whether you are a PhD or a Masters student. The organisers will be in touch shortly thereafter with a decision.
Registration costs will be waived for speakers, but unfortunately we are unable to guarantee travel or accommodation expenses. If you would like to request funding to speak at the conference please state this when you submit your abstract, and include a provisional budget for your expected expenses.
The day is expected to begin around 10am, and to conclude around 5pm. Further details of the conference will appear here as they become available: https://www.bshm.ac.uk/events/
The International Commission on the History of Mathematics (ICHM) will be holding a satellite event on Friday 6th March 2026 at the Mathematical Institute in Oxford. The ICHM will contribute up to £100 towards the Friday night accommodation of any Research in Progress student speakers who would also like to attend this event.
