The Max-Planck-Institute for the History of Science Berlin is inviting
scholars from a wide variety of disciplines, including historians of art
and literature, medicine, law, or economics, to submit paper proposals
for its forthcoming workshop "Cultural History of Heredity III:
Nineteenth to Early Twentieth Centuries". This workshop, scheduled for
January 13-16 2005, is part of a series of workshops forming the
backbone of a long term research project on the cultural history of
heredity that aims to uncover the technical, juridical, medical, and
scientific practices in which the knowledge of inheritance was
historically anchored in different epochs and to understand the genesis
of today’s naturalistic concept of heredity. Conference language is
English. Costs for travel and accommodation will be covered by the
Institute. For further information see call for papers at
