  Call for papers - History

  European Space Agency's Space History Conference

  There is more to space than rocket science. Historians, diplomats, economists, law students, political scientists and sociologists have all contributed to our understanding of the space age and its impact on our societies over the past decades. Sixty years on from the placing of the first human-made object in orbit around Earth, space is now an integral part of our daily lives. Space science and technology are projects for the whole of humankind, reaching not only outside Earth’s atmosphere, but also beyond our Solar System. While the technological and scientific challenges of working, living and travelling in space motivate students to pursue such studies, the impact of space activities on our lives on Earth, on relations between nations and organisations, and our collective recent history, provides fertile ground for students and scholars in the humanities to take up space-related subjects.

  Study days - Science studies

  Sciences, agriculture, food and society in France in the 20th century

  A l’occasion du soixantenaire de l’INRA et à la suite de la rencontre «les chercheurs ont-ils besoin d’histoire?» du 24 octobre, cette journée d’étude vise à interroger les constructions réciproques entre dynamiques de la recherche scientifique et de l’innovation technique d’une part, et transformations de l’agriculture, de l’alimentation, du monde rural et de l’environnement d’autre part, et ce depuis un siècle en France. Il s’agit de favoriser une mise en relation entre différents chercheurs partant de différentes perspectives (histoire des sciences et des techniques, histoire rurale, histoire environnementale, histoire politique, autres perspectives de sciences sociales prenant en considération les dimensions temporelles…) qui pourrait déboucher sur d’autres initiatives pour animer ce champ de recherche.
