Call for Papers: International workshop "A Cultural History of Heredity III: Nineteenth to Early Twentieth Centuries" at the Max-Planck-Institute for the History of Science, Berlin, January 13-16, 2005

Organisers: Staffan Müller-Wille and Hans-Jörg Rheinberger

Deadline for Paper Proposals: June 30, 2004

The Max-Planck-Institute for the History of Science Berlin is inviting scholars from a wide variety of disciplines, including historians of art and literature, medicine, law, or economics, to submit paper proposals for its forthcoming workshop "Cultural History of Heredity III: Nineteenth to Early Twentieth Centuries". This workshop, scheduled for January 13-16 2005, is part of a series of workshops forming the backbone of a long term research project on the cultural history of heredity that aims to uncover the technical, juridical, medical, and scientific practices in which the knowledge of inheritance was historically anchored in different epochs and to understand the genesis of today’s naturalistic concept of heredity. Conference language is English. Costs for travel and accommodation will be covered by the Institute.
