Call for papers
Call for Posters
Call for proposals to host
the 2013 Meeting
Graduate Student
Travel Support (Deadline April 15h 2011)
The
deadline
for the final call for papers was February
28, 2011 March 3, 2011.
EXTENDED
DEADLINE:
We are aware of the need for more time
for some of the sessions that are coming together. We will extend
the deadline to Thursday, March 3, at 11:59 p.m., in Salt Lake City (http://www.time.gov/timezone.cgi?Mountain/s/-7/java).
We also want to encourage scholars who have been considering submitting
a paper/talk, poster, or session proposal to do so now.
The comprehensive registration form includes space for paper/talk,
poster, and session proposals, as well as meal ticket selection,
accommodation reservations, and meeting registration.
To submit a proposal, even if you are not ready to register for the
conference, please go to:
http://www.regonline.com/ISHPSSB_2011
Please note! If you wish to only submit an abstract for a paper/talk,
poster, or session at this time, please select the "Submit
Abstract/Poster/Session Only" option on the registration page.
Selecting either 'Student', 'Regular/Emeritus' or 'Non Member' will
result in a payment being requested.
Regardless, please be sure to click through the process and Finalize
your registration/abstract submission. Otherwise it may not get
properly submitted.
If you are looking for more information, please follow one of the links
below. You will see that we have not provided any specific
guidelines on abstract length. Due to the many disciplinary
backgrounds of participants in ISHPSSB, we wanted to minimize the
structure that would be expected. Typically, a 4-6 sentence
paragraph describing your work would be plenty, but feel free to make
it longer if you need/want it to be. A longer or a shorter
abstract will not increase or decrease your chances of it being
accepted. However, if you are submitting a stand alone paper
(rather than a session) a more detailed abstract will make it easier
for us to fit it into the appropriate session.
Please contact us if you have specific questions after looking at the
information provided online.

Call for
papers
ISHPSSB Program Co-Chairs
Chris Young
and Mark Largent hope you are already thinking about papers and
sessions for the 2011 meeting in Salt Lake City.
To be sure you are
getting the most
up-to-date information about the meeting, subscribe to the ISHPSSB
listserv by clicking on the Listserv
link at www.ishpssb.org
ISHPSSB officers have set
up a
bulletin board where you can suggest a session, or review sessions that
have been proposed so far. For now, only members can post on
this
bulletin board, so you might check on your membership status and then
start sharing ideas. The bulletin board link is http://ishpssb.onefireplace.com/
Our expectation for the
Salt Lake City
meeting is that we will have more cross-disciplinary sessions than ever
before. In addition, we expect that all sessions will be
geared
toward wider audiences. This was a major thrust of the
discussions that came out of the Brisbane meeting in 2009.
Every
scholar has numerous meetings in which to present work to her or his
peers: historians speaking to historians, philosophers speaking to
philosophers, sociologists speaking to sociologists, and biologists
from across the spectrum speaking to biologists within their
specialty.
ISHPSSB is uniquely situated to provide us the opportunity to talk to
each other, across disciplinary boundaries, about biology
studies.
In order for this to happen, we need to think broadly about each other
as an audience. We hope you will begin now to look for ways
of
collaborating.
A new feature of the
program for 2011
will be a poster session. Please view the separate Call for
Posters by following the link at: http://ishpssb.org/meeting.html
Presenters should think
about ways
their work will potentially connect to other sessions throughout the
meeting. We hope this can be accomplished by thinking about
the
larger themes that are illuminated by your work. These themes
are
meant to be broad and overlapping, but will help to provide benchmarks
for organizing sessions as well as signposts for people at the
conference seeking out areas of inquiry. Some themes we have
identified include: Civic engagement; Race; Policy, science funding,
and scientific progress; Sustainability, environment, energy, and
economics; Gender and LGBT; Genetic testing; Evo-Devo; and
Education.
Details about several of these themes can be found on the bulletin
board, and more will be posted as we move forward. Please
note
that not all papers and sessions are expected to fit into one of the
themes, and we hope that as we see work that pushes beyond these
categories we can all be more aware of the new directions scholars and
members of ISHPSSB are taking.
Of course, we welcome
sessions in all
areas of our fields; individual paper submissions are also
welcome.
The basic time unit for sessions will be 90 minutes. As soon as the
registration pages are up and running, you may submit a freestanding
paper proposal. This should happen in late
November. Until
then, we encourage you to be looking for colleagues throughout the
world who will complement your work in a session. We would
like
this to be a productive time for identifying collaborators. During this
time, we encourage scholars to comment on the specific themes described
above. You may contribute to this discussion online using the
ISHPSSB bulletin board. If you would like to suggest a theme
that
will strengthen our multi-disciplinary and cross-session collaboration,
please contact Chris Young and Mark Largent at program@ishpssb.org
The deadline for paper
proposals will
be February 28, 2011 March 3 2011 (SEE ABOVE) We hope you will be checking back
regularly
on the bulletin board to identify how your work may connect with other
potential proposals.
Please also keep in mind
the ISHPSSB
policy on multiple participation: no one may present in more than one
session; exceptions are made for those who organize another session,
comment in another session, or give a short plenary address.
Individuals may serve more than one function in a given session, e.g.,
chair and presenter. In addition to these roles, individuals
may
also present a poster in the poster session.
If you have questions
about your
session or paper idea, or about procedures, please contact the Program
Co-Chairs, Chris Young and Mark Largent: program@ishpssb.org

ISHPSSB would like to
encourage
sessions that:?
a) combine more than one
disciplinary
perspective;
b) include participants
from more than
one institution and/or nation;
c) promote the
interaction of junior
and senior scholars, including students.
Program
guidelines include:
(1) The program
co-chairs, in
consultation with the program committee, and consistent with site
constraints, will organize a rich, diverse, and high quality program.?
While it is the intention of the Society to be as inclusive as
possible, the program co-chairs have the discretion to reject papers or
sessions that are truly inappropriate for these meetings or that do not
meet basic standards of communication. The program committee is
available to assist the program co-chairs in judging borderline cases.
(2) No one may present in
more than
one session. An exception is made for those who organize another
session, comment in another session, or give a short plenary address.
Individuals may serve more than one function in a given session, e.g.
chair and presenter.
(3) Each regular session
must have a
minimum of three presenters.
(4) Multiple sessions on
a given topic
should be identified with titles that distinguish the particular focus
of each session, rather than merely serialize the topic.
(5) All accepted
participants must
pre-register for the conference in order to be included in the program.

Call for
Posters
ISHPSSB Program Co-Chairs
Chris Young
and Mark Largent hope you are already thinking about papers and
sessions for the 2011 meeting in Salt Lake City.
To be sure you are
getting the most
up-to-date information about the meeting, subscribe to the ISHPSSB
listserv by clicking on the Listserv
link at www.ishpssb.org
This will be a dynamic
setting for
scholars to present their work in progress as well as expand on the
implications of work completed in an interactive setting. The
program co-chairs are actively soliciting posters from a wide range of
scholars, providing for interaction among all participants.
This
setting will engage biologists, historians, sociologists, and
philosophers alike. Our local arrangements team is providing
a
comfortable setting with refreshments readily available.
Posters are always useful
in
broadening the participation of scholars. We expect to see
graduate students as well as experienced scholars presenting and
participating in the poster sessions. A time in the program
will
be dedicated to the poster session. During this time,
creative
presentations are encouraged.
Although less common in
meetings of
historians and philosophers, poster sessions are a standard venue for
biologists, social scientists, and educators, where scholars regularly
present their work. Of special note, a poster session offers
the
possibility of far more time to engage in dialogue with others about
one's work than a regular session does.
At ISHPSSB 2011 in Salt
Lake City,
scholars who are presenting a paper will also be allowed to present a
poster, if proposals are submitted and accepted for both
formats.
In particular, posters that represent work that is in very early stages
may be accepted for the meeting, and the ensuing dialogue may be most
valuable to a scholar developing a new project.
As soon as the
registration pages are
up and running, you may submit a freestanding paper proposal.
This should happen in late November. The deadline for poster proposals
will be February 28, 2011 March 3 2011 (SEE ABOVE). We hope you will be checking back
regularly on the bulletin board to identify how your work may connect
with other potential proposals.
Please also keep in mind
the ISHPSSB

may
also present a poster in the poster session.
For those who may not
have created a poster for an
academic meeting before, good guides already exist on many scientific
society
webpages. Here are
two
examples:

Call for
proposals to host the 2013 Meeting
It is the time
to start
planning for the 2013 ISHPSSB meeting. The first step is to decide on a
location. The Site Selection Committee invites members who would be
interested in having their institution host the meeting, to present a
proposal to by February 15th 2011, or preferably sooner. Proposals
should include a general description of the institutional site,
availability of housing (dorms, hotels, etc) and meeting rooms (large
lecture halls for plenary sessions and enough smaller classrooms for
individual sessions), details of the administrative support that will
be available to the conference organizers, details of any funding that
the organizers will be able to raise to support the meeting,
availability of transportation (both internationally and locally), and
other features (local activities, scenery etc) that would make the
location attractive.
Please send
suggestions
directly to me, Paul Griffiths, via e-mail to paul.griffiths@usyd.edu.au
or mail to Department of Philosophy and Sydney Centre for the
Foundations of Science, A14, University of Sydney, NSW 2006, Australia.
Graduate Student Travel
Support for ISHPSSB2011 (application
form)
ISHPSSB supports travel
to the biennial meeting for graduate
students using funds made available through memberships, donations to
the
society, and proceeds from past meetings. Some NSF funding may also be
available.
The
society’s allocation of support for graduate student
travel is determined by these priorities: (1)students who are
presenting papers or posters at the biennial conference or
participating in ISHPSSB governance; (2) students
who have never received previous funding; and (3) students who did not
receive
funding at the previous ISHPSSB meeting.
The
society has the financial means to support only a
portion of travel costs for students whose applications are successful.
Award amounts
will depend on the total amount of funding available to ISHPSSB, the
relative
cost of travel between the students’ locations and Salt Lake City, and
the
ability of applicants to access additional resources. For ISHPSSB 2009
in Brisbane,
award amounts averaged about USD 600.
Application
forms are available at http://www.ishpssb.org/GradStusupportISH2011.rtf.
Send applications and supporting documentation to Lisa Gannett, ISHPSSB
Treasurer: via email attachment to lisa.gannett@smu.ca;
via fax to Department of Philosophy, Saint Mary’s University, (902)
491-6286; or
via regular mail to Department of Philosophy, Saint Mary’s University,
923
Robie St., Halifax, NS, B3H 3C3, Canada.
For
your application to be considered complete, you must (i)
provide documentation of your travel costs (copy of receipt, travel
agent
quote, screen shot from airline website or site such as Expedia or
Travelocity,
etc.) based on best available fare, and (ii) ensure that your graduate
advisor
sends an email to
lisa.gannett@smu.ca
confirming the amount and source
of any additional financial support you have available and that you are
currently
enrolled as a full-time graduate student in good standing.
The deadline for receipt
of complete applications is
april 15 2011 This
deadline is firm: NO
LATE OR INCOMPLETE APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED .
N.B.:
Once you send in your application, it is your
responsibility to keep your file up to date by providing prompt
notification of
any changes in your circumstances (attendance at the meeting, status as
a
full-time graduate student in good standing, itinerary, estimated
travel costs,
expected financial support, etc.). The Travel Support Committee will
process the
applications and notify applicants of the results by early to mid-May.
Any
award that you are offered at this time will be contingent on the
information that
has been provided and subject to adjustment should your circumstances
change.
To receive your award, you will be required to submit a completed
reimbursement
form and original travel receipts (including all boarding passes)
within one
month following the conference.
