The 15th European Social Science History Conference 2025 (26-29 March) is organized by the IISH/IISG in co-operation with Leiden University, Leiden, the Netherlands 0.
The aim of the ESSHC is bringing together scholars interested in explaining historical phenomena using the methods of the social sciences. The conference is characterized by a lively exchange in many small groups, rather than by formal plenary sessions. The conference welcomes papers and sessions on any historical topic and any historical period. It is organized in 27 thematic networks.
Science and Technology Network
The Science & Technology network focuses on historic topics that consider interplay between science or technology, and society.
Chairs:
- Geoffrey Zylstra, New York City College of Technology, USA
- Harro Maat, Wageningen University, NL
The Science and Technology network is interested in papers and session proposals exploring science-society interactions and technology-society interactions within and across historical periods and geographical regions. We also welcome papers addressing social and ideological perceptions of science and technology within historiography and critiques thereof. We are particularly interested in case studies and critical reviews addressing ‘border crossings’ between the scientific and technological. Papers could address particular technoscientific practices in historical periods and geographical locations, encounters between different technoscientific practices, knowledge traditions or the identification of individuals, groups and institutions with particular technoscientific constructs and traditions.
If interested, please follow this link for more information and a further link to submit your proposal.
The deadline for sending in your paper and session proposals is April 15, 2024
