The Philadelphia Area Center for History of Science invites applications for support of conferences and workshops on the history of science, technology and medicine—broadly construed. The current competition is for conferences that will take place during 10 January 2012 - 30 June 2012. We plan to support two events and to adjust and expand the program based on the outcome of this first round.
Terry wrote to PACHS recently about his post-doctoral work:
"The 2009-2010 academic year was very productive for me. This circumstance is due, in large part, to the resources available to me as a PACHS Visiting Fellow. As a consequence of this access, I was able to fully develop two projects, one of which will be submitted for publication in the summer of 2010.
Nicholas Blanchard, Oregon State University
2009 to 2010 Research Fellow
Every four years the History of Science Society, the British Society for the History of Science, and the Canadian Society for the History & Philosophy of Science meet jointly in mid-summer for multi-day sessions on the history of science. The "Three Societies Meeting" alternates among the US, Canada, and the UK. The History of Science Society will serve as host in 2012 and, thanks to a proposal submitted by the Philadelphia Area Center for History of Science, Philadelphia will provide the venue for this Three Societies Meeting.
The Center has awarded seven fellowships for dissertation research in area archives and libraries, as well as two fellowships for dissertation writing. Dissertation Research Fellows will spend one or two months conducting research in the Philadelphia area. Dissertation Writing Fellows will spend nine months in residence at the Center and will present their work for the Regional Colloquium in the History of Science, Technology and Medicine.
