CHEMICAL HERITAGE FOUNDATION CHEMISTRY IN THE AMERICAS, 1400-1800. 28th-29th April; Chemical Heritage Foundation, Chestnut St., Philadelphia, PA, USA.   In early modern times historians used to say that the practice of their art had two eyes, chronology and geography. Together these envisioned the temporal and spatial extensions of the ordered sequences of actions which come to form the record of human history. Even in such basic terms, we nonetheless lack anything approaching coherent narratives of the chemical arts and sciences as practiced on the pre-modern American continent. This circumstance differentiates American historiographies from those of European, Arabic and some eastern Asian cultures, and thus provides a fundamental motivation for the topic of the Cain Conference 2017. Whilst one conference cannot hope to supply such whole and coherent narratives, we can nonetheless take practical steps toward their provision, and so invite colleagues to sub...

I'd like to invite list members to consider applying to the Scientific Instrument Society's research grants programme. The deadline for the next round of applications is Thursday  1st September 2016.   The Scientific Instrument Society (SIS) awards small grants, of up to £500 each, for research on the history of scientific instruments. Applicants do not need to have any institutional affiliation and applications that are for less than the full amount are just as welcome - a properly costed proposal with a clear relevance to the Society's interests in historic scientific instruments, a realistic timetable and a tangible result are the most important factors that the committee will be considering.   Please note that the grant awarded will be paid against actual expenditure and funds cannot be paid in advance.  The grant is intended to cover items such as travel, accommodation (excluding meals) and photocopying costs. ...

March 24-25, 2017, University of Cambridge Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities The concept of ‘biodiversity’ has become one of the most crucial and complex terms in the environmental sciences. Central to the disciplines of conservation biology and environmental ethics, biodiversity operates as both fact and value in wider public debates about the preservation of species and habitats from human influence, exploitation, and destruction. Although the origins of the concept and its recent history are relatively well known, its relationship to earlier traditions and discourses is less well charted. We seek to understand how aesthetic, economic, and moral value came to be attached to the diversity of life on earth. The conference will bring together scholars and researchers in ecology, biology, geography, anthropology, cultural history, and history and philosophy of science. We will draw on what is already a rich body of histori...

9th European Spring School on History of Science and Popularization Living in Emergency: humanitarianism and medicine Mahon (Menorca), 18-20 May 2017 Coordinated by Jon Arrizabalaga (IMF-CSIC, Barcelona), J. Carlos García-Reyes (ICIII, Madrid), Dolores Martín-Moruno (IEH2, Université de Genève) and Àlvar Martínez-Vidal (IHMCLópez Piñero, Universitat de València) CALL FOR PAPERS AND POSTERS Present-day humanitarian crises, such as the Syrian Civil War and the subsequent refugee exodus, highlight the challenges of providing emergency medical relief to populations in distress, resulting from armed conflict or catastrophe, whether provoked by natural or artificial causes. Recent publications have also echoed the increasing concern with humanitarian medicine in the contemporary world, particularly, since the creation of Doctors Without Borders ( Médecins Sans Frontières ) following the Biafra War. The growing importance of humanitarian medicine is also reflec...

Totes les biografies són a :  http://opinions.laveupv.com/ cientifics-valencians-en-la- historia Biografies científiques valencianes  Conrado Granell Modesto  Al costat de les restes de la muralla carlista de Sueca i de la maquinària reconstruïda de l’antic Molí de la Baldovina —un exemple rellevant del patrimoni hidràulic valencià— es troba el carrer Conrado Granell. L’any 1965, el consistori suecà va dedicar a Granell aquesta via com a record del seu “acendrat patriotisme” i de “l’amor a la seua terra de Sueca”. Tot i que les autoritats franquistes de Sueca van aprovar aquesta retolació, la relació de Conrado Granell amb les elits polítiques i acadèmiques no va ser senzilla al llarg de la seua vida.  Continua llegint José Soler y Sánchez  A principi del segle XX, Gabriel Miró narrava les aventures de l’infatigable caminant Sigüenza per la muntanya alacantina, on, després de vint anys a Madrid, havia pogut tornar a...

All human action is emplaced within historically specific and contingent landscapes and environments. These are not merely canvasses on which human action is played out, but constitute active social and cultural agents in producing change. The aim of this one-day symposium, sponsored by the Royal Historical Society, is to provide a forum for scholars to consider the relationship between historical change and historic landscapes and environments.
