CFP: Observing, Depicting and Disseminating
7-9 May 2015, Centre for History of Science, Graz
Celebrating its 10th anniversary, the interdisciplinary Centre for the History of Science at the University of Graz is organising a two-day conference on the topic of “Observing, Depicting and Disseminating” and its relevance for the history of science.
The symposium welcomes scholars of all disciplines interested in the history of science, so that the “scientific perspective” can be approached in an interdisciplinary context from different theoretical standpoints. Questions concerning the general field of observing, depicting and disseminating can be considered as possible contributions, but other suggestions are welcome as long as they address the genesis of sciences and their methods of operating and thinking.
The conference will be opened by the renowned scientist, author and inventor of the contraceptive pill Prof. Carl Djerassi who will deliver his keynote address titled “Beobachten, Darstellen und Vermitteln durch das Theater” (Observing, Depicting, Disseminating through theatre) at the city hall of Graz.
The Centre for the History of Science Graz asks interested parties to sign up for the symposium at bdv@uni-graz.at by February 1st 2015. Participants are invited to give a 15-20 minute talk with following discussion on ongoing or completed research projects and papers. Please send your suggestion for a presentation (400 words max.) and a short academic CV along with your application to the address above.
