Listserv for the International Society for the History, Philosophy, and Social Studies of Biology (see the end of this message for directions on how to subscribe and unsubscribe from this listserv) **************************************************************************** ISHPSSB meets every two years, in odd-numbered calendar years. During the even-numbered, "off," years, the Society will help to publicize and lend its name to workshops or meetings that meet the following criteria. Such workshops ideally present the opportunity for informal discussions in a relaxed atmosphere, and may also offer formal sessions. The Off-Year Workshop Committee will consider proposals for workshops that meet the criteria below. Some funding for graduate student (ISHPSSB members only) travel to the workshops may be available. Additional details about proposal format and past workshops is available online: http://www.ishpssb.org/operations/workshop_comm.html Proposals are due to Chris Young by March 7, 2008. -meetings must be interdisciplinary (combining the disciplines of history, philosophy, and or social studies of biology) -meetings must meet all the requirements of Society meetings concerning accessibility, open access, and open invitations to members -meetings must be thematic in nature, which distinguishes them from the regular ISHPSSB meetings -meetings must demonstrates sufficient international viability to reflect the unique character of ISHPSSB -meetings may be organized as workshops or as conventional meetings, but all members must be eligible to attend -the selection process for speakers can be determined by clearly indicated processes that differ from those employed in our usual meetings OFF-YEAR WORKSHOP COMMITTEE 2007-2009 Young, Chris, Chair Byron, Jason Campos, Luis Clarke, Ellen Goodman-Wilson, Don Hamilton, Andrew Müller-Wille, Staffan Pearce, Trevor Rosales, Alirio Suárez, Edna Yamashita, Grant -- Chris Young, Ph.D. (History of Science and Technology) Department of Biology Alverno College P.O.
