[Galileo] AAHPSSS 2009 Brisbane, 2nd CFP (with improved URLs)

[Charles Wolfe]

Dear list-members, the previous CFP for the AAHPSSS conference had some URLs which were odd for some reason; here is the announcement again with 'cleaner' URLs.

Best regards,
Charles Wolfe


The next conference of AAHPSSS (the Australasian Association for the History, Philosophy, and Social Studies of Science, http://www.usyd.edu.au/aahpsss/ ) will take place in Brisbane at Emmanuel College, The University of Queensland, on July 11-12, 2009.

Note that earliest check-in to the rooms at Emmanuel College is 1 pm.

This conference takes place immediately before the international ISHPSSB conference in Brisbane, at the same location. Interested parties may refer to its website at http://www.ishpssb2009.org/

Membership in AAHPSSS (now 25 $ yearly, 10 $ for students) allows you to register for the conference at a lower fee. Members register at a cost of 50$ for both days or 25$ / day; non-members register at a cost of 80$ for both days or 40$ / day. Students and unwaged: 20 $ / day or 40 $ / both days.

Student assistance will be available via the Ian Langham Memorial Bursaries <file:///C:\Documents%20and%20Settings\ctwolfe\Local%20Settings\Temporary%20Internet%20Files\OLK175\bursaries.html> , funded by membership fees. Enrolled honours and postgraduate students wishing to apply for an Ian Langham Bursary should submit an abstract as above and indicate that they intend applying for a bursary on the form when submitting their abstract. Bursary applicants will need to provide a full written version of their paper (approx. 3000 words-3500 max.) along with evidence of student status by 1 May 2009 to Charles Wolfe (c.wolfe at usyd.edu.au). Criteria for selection of eligible papers include whether they engage scholarly dialogues in the HPS/STS literature, whether they evidence knowledge and appropriate use of HPS/STS methodologies, and that the author is a student enrolled in either an honours or postgraduate program. You must also be able to provide, on request, the written support of your supervisor. Bursaries will be allocated subject to these conditions and the availability of funds (monies are generally distributed according to distance between the home institution and the conference venue).The best student paper will be awarded the Ian Langham Prize at the conference although the AAHPSSS Executive reserves the right not to award the Prize.

Please send electronic submissions either of individual papers, panels (typically 3 speakers, maximum 4), or book sessions to the Secretary, Charles Wolfe, at c.wolfe at usyd.edu.au. Mention AAHPSSS 2009 in the email subject heading.
