The 56th Joint Atlantic Seminar in the History of Biology
Friday and Saturday, April 8-9, 2022.
Call for papers and registration
Deadline Extended to March 12
Jointly held by MIT's Doctoral Program in History, Anthropology, and Science, Technology, and Society (HASTS) and Harvard University, History of Science Department
The Joint Atlantic Seminar series offers the opportunity for graduate students in the history of the life sciences to present their work to a well-informed audience in an informal and encouraging setting. JAS-Bio has fostered a long tradition of collegiality amongst historians of biology along the eastern seaboard including the north-eastern United States and south-eastern Canada. It is one of the nicest ways to present an early career paper and meet other participants in the field.
The seminar will be held remotely.
Attendance is free but registration is required for all participants please.
There will be a guest lecture/event on Friday evening and electronic coffee breaks to continue the seminar’s tradition of sociability
Call for papers:
Graduate students who would like to present a paper should send a title, name and address, and one-paragraph abstract to Robin Wolfe Scheffler by email to rws42@mit.edu. Please make the subject line “JASHB2022 Proposal [yourlastname]”
THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMITTING ABSTRACTS IS 12 noon, March 12th, 2022. Speakers will be notified by March 20th.
Registration:
