Call for Abstracts for ISHPSSB Off-Year Workshop

Call for Abstracts for ISHPSSB Off-Year Workshop:

Integrating Complexity: Environment and History

This is the final Call for Abstracts for an interdisciplinary conference from October 7-10, 2010, at the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario, Canada. Integrating Complexity: Environment and History will consist of two linked workshops exploring a set of challenges to scientific understanding that span many fields of the natural and human sciences, and that have broad implications for research choices, for social policy, and for how we understand ourselves and the world. The two workshop themes are “Organism-Environment Interaction: Past, Present and Future” and “Methodology in the Historical Sciences.”

This is an Off-Year Workshop for the International Society for the History, Philosophy and Social Studies of Biology, and is sponsored by the Rotman Institute of Science and Values.

The new deadline is August 1, 2010. If you are interested in presenting at the conference, please send a one-page abstract to iceh@uwo.ca for consideration. (If you are interested in attending and contributing as a session chair or informal discussion leader rather than giving a talk please let us know!) See the conference website at http://www.iceh.uwo.ca/ for full submission information and conference details.
