CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

The Canadian Society for the History and Philosophy of Science (CSHPS)is holding its annual conference as part of the Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences (CFHSS) at the University of Victoria,June 2-4, 2013.

The program committee invites scholars working on the history and philosophy of science to submit abstracts for individual papers or proposals for sessions.Proposals for sessions (3 and 4 paper) are particularly encouraged.

  • Meeting languages.The CSHPS is a bilingual society.  Individual papers may be given in English or French, but efforts to broaden participation are appreciated (e.g. a presentation in English could be accompanied by a PowerPoint in French, and vice versa). Similarly, sessions can be presented in either English or French, but bilingual sessions are especially welcomed.
  • Joint sessions:The CSHPS meeting overlaps with the meeting dates of a number of other member societies of the CFHSS, including the Canadian Historical Association, Canadian Philosophical Association, Canadian Sociological Association, Women’s and Gender Studies et Recherches Féministes, Canadian Society for the History of Medicine and the Environmental Studies Association of Canada. We welcome proposals for joint sessions with these and other societies. However, no talk will be accepted for presentation at more than one society.
  • Number of submissions :Individuals can only submit one abstract for the CSHPS meeting (i.e. either an abstract for an individual paper or and abstract part of a session proposal).
