University of Toronto IHPST Graduate Conference

[ISHPSS]

From: R. Katz <kat...@MCMASTER.CA>

Dear list members, 

The Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology at the University of Toronto is pleased to announce the call for abstracts for our annual graduate conference. This year our theme is Boundaries. Please see below for details. Submissions are due February 28^th to hapsa...@gmail.com.

Boundaries can represent divisions between people, places, and ways of knowing, but they can also represent sites of transmission and exchange. We invite scholars from all disciplinary backgrounds to examine the historical and philosophical valences of boundaries. How do we understand boundaries? How do boundaries map the spaces between disciplines, typologies, and technosciences? How, in turn, are these boundaries negotiated, reified, and transgressed?

The IHPST conference will take place on Sunday, May 8, 2022 and will consist of 5 or 6 panels of 60 minutes. Proposals should be about 250 words. Clearly state the main argument of the presentation and how it dialogues with the topic of boundaries. Proposals for pre-arranged panels with three presenters should add a brief statement about the theme of the panel and its significance to the topic. Proposals are due by February 28, 2022 and should be sent to hapsa...@gmail.com. We intend to respond to proposals by March 31.

We look forward to reading your proposals. 

Best,

IHPST Conference Team
