Call for Papers: 18th Annual Mephistos Conference, University of

Oklahoma



The 18th annual MePHiSToS graduate student conference for the history,

philosophy, and sociology of science, technology, and medicine will be

held at the University of Oklahoma, October 1-2, 1999.



Mephistos is an opportunity for graduate students to present papers,

engage in informal discussion, and meet students from other

universities.  Although Mephistos will appeal to people in science

studies, students in other areas touching on the sciences or with an

interest in interdisciplinary research are also encouraged to submit

paper proposals and to attend the conference.



The 1999 Program Committee seeks proposals for individual papers related

to the History, Philosophy, and Sociology of Science, Technology, and

Medicine from the ancient period to the present. Please mail, email or

fax a one-page abstract for a 15-20 minute paper and brief c.v.
