Biocosmos - Our sense of place, our sense of life in the universe
Planet scientists and exoplanet astronomers are re-shaping our understanding of the universe, presenting a fascinating cosmos filled with places and destinations, not an empty void. At the same time, Earth physicists and biologists design models of self-sustainable ecosystems such as Biosphere 2 and the Mars/Lunar Greenhouse, with the goal of engineering bio-regenerative mini-worlds that can function on their own. As these scientific revolutions unfold, with distant spaces and global life systems as objects of “field work”, what counts as the “human environment”? How do we, as individuals and societies, relate to spaces, things, and processes we do not or cannot experience directly and which we see as “extreme” or “beyond” human?

Summer School - Science studies
In the face of the current ecological crisis, how shall we rethink concepts and practices of environment, ecology, difference, and technology to envision and create a more just, sustainable, and diverse planet? The combined histories of colonialism, extraction industries, energy, as well as innovation in design, architecture, literature and technology offer a lens by which to examine how contemporary techno-scientific societies envision planetary futures. Site visits exploring resource extraction, colonialism in urban policy and planning, and speculative architectural design will be accompanied by an analysis of science fiction, science technology, speculative design and ethnography, as well as life and earth sciences.

Archives unleashed: Web archive hackathon
This hackathon will bring together a small group of 20-30 participants to collaboratively develop new open-source tools and approaches to hackathon, and to kick-off collaboratively inspired research projects. Researchers should be comfortable with command line interactions, and knowledge of a scripting language such as Python strongly desired. By bringing together a group of like-minded scholars and programmers, we hope to begin building unified analytic production effort and to continue coalescing this nascent research community.

Alexandre Koyré: Transatlantic perspectives
This symposium commemorates the 50th anniversary of Koyré's death by focusing on his legacy in the United States. In the 1950s and 1960s, pioneers of the history of science such as Thomas S. Kuhn, I. B. Cohen, Marshall Clagett, Gérald Holton or Charles Gillispie have all admitted his influence on the discipline. The participants will discuss Koyré's impact on the American intellectual landscape and the reception of his ideas among the historians and philosophers who sought to professionalize the teaching of the history of science in the United States.

Sciences et savoirs dans le monde atlantique francophone (XVIe-XVIIIe siècles)
L'objectif de cette rencontre est de confronter diverses analyses portant sur la construction et la circulation des savoirs dans l’Atlantique francophone des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles. En s’attachant à souligner certaines spécificités de l’histoire des savoirs dans l'Atlantique français de l'époque moderne, cet atelier abordera des thèmes aussi variés que la cartographie, la botanique, les savoirs médicaux ou les contacts entre savoirs africains, amérindiens et européens. Au-delà d’une réflexion d’ensemble sur les enjeux d’une telle histoire pour penser l’histoire coloniale française de l’époque moderne, une table ronde clôturera cette rencontre afin de situer cette histoire par rapport à celles, plus familières, des espaces coloniaux de la Grande-Bretagne et de l’Espagne. -
