[ 重要日期 ] 摘要截稿日期: 2014-12-01 会议背景介绍: What can oral history and life story methodologies bring to the study of the history of science, technology and medicine? How have historians of science, technology and medicine made use of personal memory and narratives in their research?
This conference will explore the theoretical and practical challenges of using oral history-based techniques in the broad areas of the histories of science, mathematics, engineering, technology and medicine, and welcomes contributions which use oral history to:
Understand change in medicine and science
Consider the links between organisational history and memory
Juxtapose oral history with other historical sources
Review the cultural interface between history, memory and technology
Uncover personal reflections on technological and medical innovation and change
Examine ways in which memory can be used to interpret and engage with wider public audiences about current scientific issues in, for example, biomedicine, the environment and lifestyle choices
This conference would bring into dialogue oral historians, historians of science, technology and medicine, medical sociologists, technologists, archivists, the scientific humanities, and heritage professionals working in museums, higher education, broadcasting and other media. 征文范围及要求: We invite proposals for oral history-based contributions, including papers, panels, presentations, workshops, posters and displays on the following topics:
