The call for papers for the 2024 British Society for the History of Science Postgraduate Conference is now open. This year’s conference theme is the Global History of Science, Technology and Medicine.

The event will be held in person at the University of Warwickin collaboration with Warwick’s Global History and Culture Center (GHCC) and will take place on Friday 19 April and Saturday 20 April.

We welcome papers from postgraduate students working in any area of the history of science, technology and medicine, in any period of history. We are committed to providing an accessible forum for scholarly discussion and exchange and encourage graduate students from any nationality to apply. Priority will be given to PGRs in the earlier stages of their academic career to practice presenting in front of their peers.

Please note: If you have ever presented at the BSHS annual conference, you will not be eligible to present at the PG conference.

Papers will be 15 minutes long, followed by a discussion with panel speakers and audience members.

We invite you to submit a title, abstract and bio with your name, affiliation, and contact details. The deadline for applications is Monday 15 January 2024. We will notify applicants by the week beginning 19th February 2024 regarding the status of their application.

You do not need to be a member of the BSHS to apply. However, joining the BSHS as a PG student grants access to funding, prizes, opportunities, and BSHS events support. Member fees for students are only £10. For more information visit https://www.bshs.org.uk/membership
