Edinburgh is a spectacular city, rich in history, culture and humanistic enquiry: join us, to reflect on the past while shaping the futur e of our discipline. \nWe welcome submissions on any topic in the history o f science, technology, and medicine that engage diverse geographical, thema tic, and methodological perspectives. We are particularly keen to receive s ubmissions that engage with our theme “Shifting Perspectives: Plural Worlds , Contested Sciences,” which encourages reflection on how shifting perspect ives on histories of the sciences might better account for marginal voices, contested truths, and epistemic disobedience. By emphasizing plurality—in forms of knowledge, in worldviews, and in disciplinary approaches—we aim to encourage a scholarly practice that resists reductive narratives of linear progress and singular authority. This thematic focus is particularly reson ant for our host city, Edinburgh, whose clear contributions to Enlightenmen t thought and science are entangled with imperial legacies. In this spirit, the conference seeks conversations that are historically grounded yet crit ically attuned to the present, encouraging proposals that not only explore the multiplicity of scientific worlds—across different times, places, epist emologies, and communities—but that also reflect on what it means to write histories of the sciences in plural.\n\n\nWe look forward to your submissio ns!

We welcome submissions on any topic in the history of science , technology, and medicine that engage diverse geographical, thematic, and methodological perspectives.
