2002 ISHPSSB Workshops: Call for Proposals The International Society for the History, Philosophy, and Social Studies of Biology (ISHPSSB) will authorize workshops in even-numbered years (the off-years for the Society's regular biennial meetings), on an ad hoc basis, with a clear application and approval process available on request from Society President Lindley Darden or on the Society webpage. These workshops must be thematic in nature, which will distinguish them from the regular ISHPSSB meetings. They must be interdisciplinary, and meet all the requirements of Society meetings concerning accessibility. All members must be eligible to attend, although the selection process for speakers can be determined by clearly indicated processes that differ from those employed in ISHPSSB meetings. The Society will not provide funding or other substantive assistance in preparing the program, but the Society will provide a copy of the Society's mailing list of members and publicity about the meeting through the appropriate Society resources (e.g., email list, Web page). The Society expects such meetings to rotate geographically, insofar as there are multiple proposals. Deadline for submission of proposals for 2002 ISHPSSB Workshops: October 10, 2001.

"Like waking up from a bad dream, I was relieved to realize last week as my life passed before me that thankfully, I chose to work and live in a university. "Where the love of knowledge and enlightenment, and yes, even an occasional irreverence, frame my daily interactions. "Where tolerance and diversity inform my daily work. "And where a caring community enables all of us to carry on, even in the face of the unknown." --Nancy Zimpher, UWM Chancellor, September 20, 2001.
