Call for Papers
Writing the Past, Claiming the Future
Women and Gender in Science, Medicine, and Technology
October 12-15, 2000
Saint Louis University
St. Louis, Missouri
"Writing the past, claiming the future" is being designed to further conversations
begun at previous conferences among historians of science, medicine, and technology.
These discussions made explicit how much historians of science, medicine, and
technology can learn from each other. It is intended to invite greater interchange
among the disciplines while recognizing the uniqueness of each.
Conference themes will include, but not be limited to, personal and external
factors that empower or inhibit women's participation in the scientific, medical,
and technological disciplines; scientific, medical, and technological ideas
that have influenced ideas about gender and gender roles in the disciplines
and in the wider society; and the relationship between gender and conceptions
of knowledge and the practice of science, medicine, and technology.
Individual papers and panels are solicited on topics that explore the interdisciplinary
relationships of women and gender and science, medicine, and technology. Conference
organizers strongly encourage the submission of panels of two or three papers.
We are particularly interested in panels that encompass a range of perspectives
and stimulate "crosstalk" among scholars of different disciplines.
Proposals must include two copies of a one-page abstract and a one-page curriculum
vitae. For proposals submitted as a panel, an abstract and vitae are required
for each panel member. Proposals are due by January 1, 2000. If you have any
questions or would like to be put on the mailing list to receive the conference
brochure, please contact Charlotte G. Borst, Chair, Local Arrangements Committee
(address below). Conference materials will be available after August 1, 2000.
