To mark its fiftieth anniversary, which falls in 1997, the British Society for the History of Science is holding a conference with the title: 'The History of Science as public culture?'. Its object will be to explore the ways in which the enterprise of history of science has functioned in public culture and within academia, particularly in Britain during the past fifty years. The primary focus for the conference will be on the role played by the history of science in public culture--in public debate, in public celebrations, in museums, and in visual and printed media. In addition, the conference will consider the extent to which scholars in other disciplines have responded to the history of science as an academic discipline, and will examine the British tradition of academic history of science from an international perspective.
The conference will be held within the 1997 Festival of Science of the British Association for the Advancement of Science. This week-long event is much the largest annual scientific meeting held in Britain, with over four hundred specialist speakers and public figures, from all fields of science. BSHS conference delegates will be entitled to attend any of the sessions within the British Association programme, including sessions on Monday 8 September and Friday 12 September. Of particular interest to historians is a session on Monday 8 September focusing on the centenary of the electron and the fiftieth anniversary of the transistor. Full programme details for the British Association meeting will be sent to all registrants.
The BSHS anniversary conference will be held under the auspices of the 1997 Festival of Science of the British Association for the Advancement of Science. Those wishing to attend the conference should register for the British Association meeting via the BSHS Executive Secretary, using this form. Registration will entitle delegates to attend any of the sessions within the British Association programme, in addition to the anniversary conference organised by the BSHS.
The British Association has agreed to extend to members of the BSHS the concessionary rates available to members of the British Association. Anyone wishing to join the BSHS should complete the appropriate section of this form.
