Students

6th Annual HAPSAT Conference

On Sunday April 25, HAPSAT, the Graduate Student Society at the Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science at Technology at the University of Toronto, will host its sixth annual conference, "Instruments: Mental and Material".

The AHRC has funded a two-year doctoral training programme to teach the 'Theories and Methods' of projects that connect literature, science and medicine. There will be twenty funded places for doctoral students to apply for their accommodation and travel to each of the six events that comprise this programme.

This interdisciplinary symposium for early career researchers, supported by the Society for the Social History of Medicine, will be held at Durham University, 6-7 July 2010.

Keynote speaker: Dr. Peter Mitchell (University of Wales, Lampeter)

The winner of the 2008 Roy Porter Student Essay Prize is Mark Honigsbaum, a PhD Candidate at University College London. His essay, 'The Great Dread: Cultural and Psychological Impacts and Responses to the 'Russian' Influenza in the United Kingdom, 1889-93' is indeed a timely one.
