I probably should have posted this sooner, but just in case any alumni readers of this blog haven't heard yet, there is an exciting conference coordinated by Riki taking place this weekend at Penn, sponsored by the HSS Dept.:

“Histories of the Human Sciences: Different Disciplinary Perspectives.”

Conference on May 6th, 2006, University of Pennsylvania, sponsored by the Department of History and Sociology of Science.

During recent decades, interest in the history of human sciences has grown considerably. Research has been undertaken by practitioners of the human sciences as well as by historians, and also by scholars in other disciplines. Not surprisingly, scholars have typically addressed their own disciplinary audiences. The objective of this conference is to stimulate discussion across disciplinary boundaries.

Speakers: Matti Bunzl; John Carson; Susan Hegeman; Barbara Herrnstein Smith; Peter Logan; Philip Mirowski; Jill Morawski; Alice O’Connor; Leila Zenderland.

Commentators include Elizabeth Lunbeck and George W. Stocking, Jr.

Attendance space is limited. Those interested in attending the conference should declare their intention of doing so. Further particulars will be sent to them. Please send an e-mail message headed “Conference on May 6th” to Patricia Johnson, pjohnson@sas.upenn.edu.
