Subject: Call for Papers: Mephistos 2002

Mephistos 2002
www.cis.vt.edu/mephistos2002

Deadline for submissions: January 7, 2002

Each year the Mephistos graduate student conference moves to a new
location,
and this year, the STS program at Virginia Tech is proud to host the
20th 
anniversary event. Mephistos is a multi-disciplinary graduate student
conference in the History, Philosophy, Sociology, and Politics of
Science,
Technology, and Medicine (sometimes known as "science studies"). The
conference offers an opportunity for graduate students to present
papers, 
engage in formal and informal discussion, and meet students from other
universities who share their research interests.

The Mephistos 2002 Organizing Committee welcomes submissions to present
current research, a dissertation chapter, thesis or dissertation
proposals, or
other unique forums for interaction. We seek submissions of abstracts
from
graduate students in any discipline or interdisciplinary program on any
topic
whose research analyzes issues in (or related to) science, technology,
and
medicine. Papers may range chronologically from ancient times to the
present.
Please mail, e-mail, or fax a one-page abstract (e-mail submissions
preferred)
for a 15-20 minute paper and a brief C.V. by January 7, 2002 to:

E-mail: meph2002@vt.edu

NOTE: We plan to offer travel grants to all students who participate in
the
conference. As such, we encourage early submission of abstracts and
proposals
so that our funding committee can more effectively procure the necessary
funds. Thus, we will begin accepting submissions on December 10, 2001.
