For a comparative history of industrial risks regulation, 18th-19th c.
If comparison between national or regional contexts has been a driving force for the historiography of the « industrial revolution », and if environmental history has been immediately written on a global scale, the evolution of environmental and risk regulation is often studied according to the national, regional or local scales of the institutions producing the regulations. The aim of this workshop is to invite historians to consider how comparison could advance our understanding of the different ways of regulating risk and environment. -

Digital resources engagement officer
Royal Museums Greenwich in partnership with Cambridge University is developing a JISC-funded project, "Navigating 18th-Century Science and Technology: The Board of Longitude", which will create an online resource based on the extraordinary archives of the British Board of Longitude (1714-1828). The proposed resource will draw on and make links between important collections held at Cambridge University Library (CUL) and Royal Museum's Greenwich (RMG). A key role in the development and delivery of the project will be the one-year, full-time position of Digital Resources Engagement Officer, who will forge the links between the partner collections and create engaging digital learning resources for a broad audience base. -

4th International Congress on Construction History
Après Madrid (2003), Cambridge (2006), Cottbus (2009), Paris a été choisie pour accueillir le quatrième congrès international d'histoire de la construction. Trois écoles d'architecture (Paris-Malaquais, Paris-La Villette et Versailles) ainsi que le Conservatoire des arts et métiers pilotent cet évènement. L'histoire de la construction apparaît par définition hybride, associant aussi bien la conception que la réalisation, comme la préservation, la technique que la culture, et se trouve de fait interdisciplinaire. Y participent aussi bien des historiens de toutes disciplines (archéologues, juristes, économistes, historiens de l'art, etc.) que des praticiens (ingénieurs, architectes, entrepreneurs, artisans). Plus de 350 chercheurs, enseignants et praticiens, vont présenter le dernier état de leur recherche dans ce champ et en débattre sur quatre sites parisiens et versaillais. 6 conférences plénières seront délivrées par des personnalités reconnues par leurs pairs. Les actes paraîtront chez Picard en 3 volumes le jour du congrès. Le programme ainsi que les modalités d'inscription sont en ligne sur le site: www.icch-paris2012.fr -

Puericulture, Biotypology and "Latin" Eugenics in Comparative Context
This One-day Workshop is organised by the History of Race and Eugenics (HRE) Research Group Oxford Brookes University. The study of eugenics and race is currently undergoing a remarkable transformation - one defined by society's need to engage with scientific advances and the ethical dilemmas they raise on the one hand, and the investigation of hitherto neglected case studies on the other. The inclusion and juxtaposition of national and international histories of race and eugenics lies at the heart of this international collaboration that strives to not only yield original and timely research on these neglected national case studies, but to redefine and diversify the overarching debates on these particularly turbulent periods of modern history. -

How can social sciences help us understand the nuclear world ?
Le colloque interdisciplinaire, « Les chantiers du nucléaire », se propose d’ouvrir un chantier, celui des relations entre le nucléaire et les SHS. Il s’agira de faire un bilan des recherches existantes et de capitaliser sur cet acquis conséquent, en examinant les approches choisies, les méthodes mises en œuvre, les difficultés rencontrées et in fine les aspects non retenus ou non analysés de cet objet à multiples facettes. Dans un second temps, nous souhaiterions interroger la pertinence des apports des SHS aux débats contemporains sur l'industrie nucléaire. -

In recent years, studies into experiences of health care have led historians to engage with the issue of the medical complaint. As expressions of dissatisfaction, disquiet and failings in service provision, the complaint is both a vital antidote to progressive histories of health care and, in generating contemporary investigation and debate, has also left a fertile seam for historical research. Often it is only when things go wrong that we begin to understand thecomplexity at work in past events. This two-day international conference will explore what has happened historically when medicine generated complaints. -

Two post doc positions in History and Philosophy of Social Science

We intend in this workshop to reconsider how new technologies flow and circulate around the globe. One cannot ignore the obvious fact that we are seeing the emergence of new technological and industrial centres which accompany the rapid redistribution of economic power around the world; but one should also take into account the fact that technology is – and has always been – flowing and circulating in much more unexpected ways than predicted by the old-fashioned diffusionist models which are still prevalent, even in these times of globalisation. By privileging in this workshop (and in our collective project) a comparative approach between three very different geographical regions – South Asia, the Middle East and Europe – we hope to be able to propose an approach to technological flow, which will be sufficiently global and comparative, for going beyond the specificities of any particular culture or society, and which may really better help us understand the dynamics of technological circulations and the processes by which technologies are reinvented in different locations. -

How to make the peripheral "mainstream"
Recent develpments in the historiography of science
Ces dernières années, le développement des études sur l’histoire des sciences dans les régions du monde dont on a longtemps considéré qu’elles n’avaient pas contribué de manière significative au développement historique des sciences s’est accompagné d’une réflexion historiographique approfondie. Ce colloque vise à formuler et discuter des propositions pour placer ces travaux et problématiques de recherche vus comme périphériques au centre de l'histoire des sciences. -

Power, Resistances and Tensions. History of Electric Mobilities, 19th-20th Centuries
L'électricité est aujourd'hui employée pour de nombreuses formes de mobilité et nombreux sont les projets allant dans le sens d'un usage plus massif de cette énergie pour se déplacer. L'appel à communications de ce colloque se propose d'envisager sur le temps long cette relation entre électricité et mobilité, en interrogeant les pratiques et imaginaires d'une énergie qui, si elle a trouvé des applications concrètes dans le domaine des transports, s'est également bien souvent confrontée à des désillusions. Colloque organisé par l'Université Paris I (laboratoire IRICE UMR 8138) et l'Université Paris Diderot (laboratoire ICT EA 337) avec le soutien de l'ISCC-CNRS. -

New Perspectives on Visuality in the History of Science
The workshop will feature four sessions dedicated to some of the most important or well developed areas of visual studies of science: 1 “The making and materiality of visual objects”, includes the materials, techniques, tools and practices involved in the making of visual objects and their conservation; 2 “The circulation of images and of visual cultures” for instance among scientific practitioners, printers, engravers, draughtsmen, and different publics, but also across different publications; 3 “The uses and politics of the image” focuses on the intended functions of images e.g. in science popularization or teaching but also on their less intended uses in other realms and by other publics; and 4 "Images as epistemic objects” asks what roles images and visual objects play in scientific epistemology, e.g. as visual evidence. -

Catholic Intellectuals in France in the mid-20th Century
Following the success of the journée d’étude ‘Engaging with Engagement: French Catholic Thought 1930-50’, held at Magdalen College in May 2010, this conference will continue and extend exploration of different types of French Catholic intellectual engagement during the mid-twentieth century, against the backdrop of the ‘crises’ of civilization of the interwar period through to the war years and beyond. The formation of Catholic identities, in their artistic, philosophical, theological and political manifestations, and the shifting norms and values of political and social commitments in relation to their cultural and theological fault lines, are central to our concerns.
