| Location: | Science Museum
London Great Britain |
| Keywords: | Ethics of science |
| Details: | The focus is on issues of ideological commitments and their relationship to scientific and social activism in the scientific community. The three realms of the ideological addressed are political, religious and philosophical commitment in historical perspective, encompassing a number of thematic possibilities from ideological activism, social engagement, influence on scientific practices and ideas, attempts at scientific associations and organizations, networks, to individual commitment. These reach across the history of science, technology and medicine, with no parameters on historical period. In addition to scientists, we welcome papers, on similar issues, relating to natural philosophers, engineers, technocrats, medical doctors, nursing staff, scientific journalists, public propagandists, laboratory workers and technicians. The conference will address issues of implicit or tacit commitment as well as explicit, public commitment. We particularly welcome proposals reflecting upon historiographical issues and multidisciplinary approaches to these relationships. The closing date for all proposals is 15th February 2006 with notification of acceptance by 28th February 2006. |
