CALL FOR PAPERS

WRITING THE PAST, CLAIMING THE FUTURE
   WOMEN AND GENDER IN SCIENCE, MEDICINE, AND TECHNOLOGY

 October 12-15, 2000

 St. Louis University
      St. Louis, MO


"Writing the past, claiming the future" is being designed to 
further conversations begun at previous conferences among historians of 
science, medicine, and technology.  These discussions made explicit how 
much historians of science, medicine, and technology can learn from 
each other.  It is is intended to invite greater interchange among the 
disciplines, while recognizing the uniqueness of each.

Conference themes will include, but not be limited to, personal 
and external factors that empower or inhibit women's participation in 
the scientific, medical, and technological disciplines; scientific, 
medical, and technological ideas that have influenced ideas about 
gender and gender roles in the disciplines and in the wider society; 
and the relationship between gender and conceptions of knowledge and 
the practice of science, medicine, and technology.

Individual papers and panels are solicited on topics that explore 
the interdisciplinary relationships of women and gender and 
science, medicine, and technology. Conference organizers strongly  
encourage the submission of panels of two or three papers.  We are  
particularly interested in panels that encompass a range of 
perspectives and stimulate "crosstalk" among scholars of different 
disciplines.

Proposals must include two copies of a one-page abstract and a 
one-page curriculum vitae.  For proposals submitted as a panel, an  
abstract and vitae are required for each panel member.  Proposals are 
due by January 1, 2000.  If you have any questions or would like to be 
put on the mailing list to receive the conference brochure, please 
contact Charlotte G. Borst, Chair, Local Arrangements Committee (address
below).  Conference materials will be available after August 1, 2000.
