A collective volume on the 'scientific revolution' is being prepared for submission to an international scholarly publisher. The goal is to reassess this historiographical category by combining analyses of well-known texts and the presentation of new case studies from the late medieval period to the early modern age. Additionally, theoretical reflections on key concepts underlying the current understanding of the 'scientific revolution' will be included. Abstracts of up to 500 words from potential contributors are invited before August 1, 2023. Proposals should be sent to Marco Storni . Contributors whose abstracts are accepted are expected to submit a full paper before May 1, 2024. Following the selection of abstracts, the volume project will be submitted to a major international publisher. Accepted contributors will receive further details. https://philevents.org/event/show/110841 https://www.academia.edu/100848368/CFP_Reassessing_the_Scientific_Revolution_Key_Concept...

The Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin is excited to offer journalist residencies in the history, philosophy, and sociology of science in 2024. This fellowship presents the opportunity for journalists in all forms of media around the world to gain insight into the work of an international research institute. During the fellowship journalists explore current research in the history, philosophy, and sociology of science; network and engage with academic researchers; and carry out a research project on a relevant topic of their choice. Journalists-in-Residence receive an honorarium of €3,000 per month (for up to two months). Applying to the fellowship We invite applications from journalists seeking to utilize the history, philosophy, and sociology of science in their reporting, and with a particular interest in exploring the value of these disciplines for public discourse around contemporary social issues.

SourceLab is a digital documentary publishing initiative sponsored by the Department of History at the University of Illinois. We train students to create reliable and free digital documentary editions of digitized historical sources, in response to the needs of teachers, researchers, and the public at large. Though we sometimes digitize new materials, our focus is creating editions of the vast ‘found’ archive of documents already on the web—the huge number of historical sources that people could use in their teaching, research, or public history projects—if only they knew more about them and could cite them with confidence. For Fall 2023, SourceLab is issuing a call for proposals for a new series, publishing sources for the history of disability. Do you know of a digitized source (in any format) that you think could have wide interest for teachers, researchers, and the public at large? Would you like to use a reliable edition of it yourself? Consider responding to this call to see if...

The International Political Science Association (IPSA) and the International Political Science Abstracts seek articles for the journal's Trends in International Political Science rubric. Every year, International Political Science Abstracts receives over 30,000 articles from around the globe, providing us with an unparalleled access to articles published in and around our discipline. Trends seeks to build on this material, determining six burgeoning currents in the field. We gather leading articles on these trends over the last 2-4 years and seek scholars with expertise in each of these areas to write a short (3500-4000 words) review of these works (in English). A Trends article is then published as the first chapter of each bi-monthly issue of the International Political Science Abstracts and distributed to libraries around the world in both print and database editions. We are currently soliciting authors to write articles on the following subjects: 1) Sortition; 2) Economic Sanc...

Organizer: Dr. Aileen Behrendt (University of Potsdam), Dr. Hadassah Stichnothe (University of Bremen), Dr. Stefanie Jakobi (University of Bremen) Confirmed keynote speakers: Prof. Kim Reynolds (Newcastle University) Prof. Emer O’Sullivan (Leuphana University Lüneburg) “#TeamBlyton” – With this hashtag, children’s book author Mithu Sanyal joined the defense of Blyton’s legacy, despite her texts’ blatant racism (Sanyal 2023). This strategy of acknowledging the problematic discourses that pervade Blyton’s oeuvre (be they race, class, or gender) while asserting her importance even within 21st-century children’s and young adult media is a common one across national borders and fits current Western debates about cultural accountability. Countless republications, adaptations, and sequels have secured Blyton's place in the transnational literary market. But Blyton’s ongoing international relevance as a popular author has not prompted much academic interest. In fact, her works have been “...

Editors: Aida Castro (ICNOVA / I2ADS) Maria Mire (CICANT / AR.CO) Media-bodies are frontier bodies that operate in the spaces-between. They are bodies that define and materialise themselves, acquire and install bodies in the crossings and, for this very reason, are open to the practices of the imaginary. Media-bodies show their specific experiences, politics and languages: they are their own medium appearance and their own essay and we can say that this emerges in the embodiment of the materialities they convoke, evoke or even in those that circulate and imagine in the crossings. Does (in) a media-body vibrate the latency of its temporality? The cyborg, as Donna Haraway (1985) presented in her manifesto, would then be a media-body par excellence, a modern archetype. This body, even if obsolete, is still a figure that allows us to think about the materialities of its appearance, connected with the operations of the languages of that same embodiment: the duplicity and simultaneity that i...

Beyond the Ocean’s Depths: Revisiting the Challenger Expedition (1872-1876), 7 November 2023.  National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London This event is in part sponsored by the Department of Science and Technology Studies at University College London. Revisiting the Challenger Expedition (1872-1876) With the environmental threat of global warming, rising seas and biodiversity loss, knowledge of the ocean is more important than ever. The Challenger Expedition , named after the British Royal Navy vessel HMS Challenger which circumnavigated the globe from 1872 to 1876 with the aim to explore the deep sea, has been celebrated as a foundational moment in the history of modern oceanography. Data and specimens obtained from the expedition are actively studied by scientists today and provide a historical benchmark for climate change and species distribution. Meanwhile, historians are increasingly calling for the voyage’s imperial context to be recognised and are bringing attention to peop...

Two postdoctoral positions at Utrecht University are currently being advertised as part of an ERC Advanced Grant for the project 'BOHR21: Niels Bohr for the 21st Century'. Deadline for applications is 6 July 2023. Bohr was a central figure in the development of 20th-century physics, but his thought is difficult to understand, its reception has been fraught with misunderstandings, and its contemporary relevance is still unclear. The project will make extensive use of historical sources and address these topics in the context of the philosophy of physics, the philosophy of biology and general philosophy of science. For more information and to apply, please see https://www.uu.nl/en/organisation/working-at-utrecht-university/jobs/two-postdoc-positions-in-history-and-philosophy-of-physics-or-science-08-10-fte .
