The Department of History and Philosophy of Science (HPS), University of Cambridge, will be hosting the annual British Society for the History of Science Postgraduate conference. This event provides a friendly environment in which graduate students can present their research and meet peers from around the world.
Abstracts
Abstracts from graduate students working in any area of the history of science, medicine and technology, science and technology studies, and philosophy of science are welcome. We hope to reflect a diverse range of papers and approaches, shaped in the West, Asia, South America, and Africa, as per Cambridge’s commitment to global research. Students working in related fields, such as environmental and medical humanities, historical anthropology, and areas on the margins of the history of science are also encouraged to apply.
Presentations will be up to 20 minutes, with 10 minutes for discussion. Joint submissions for three-person panels are also welcome. One application should be made, with a short overview of the contributed papers, followed by an abstract of up to 250 words from each panelist.
