We are currently in the process of replacing portions of our hardware
infrastructure to serve our customers and members of the associations we
service better.  This will unfortunately result in connection problems
until the installation is completed. This effects directory access as
well as access to the online version of the journal. We anticipate full
restoration of service by Monday, April 4. We apologize for the
inconvenience and thank you for your patience while we perform this
critical upgrade.

CALL FOR PAPERS

Symposium on New Humanities and Science Convergences

Pacific Division, American Association for the Advancement of Science
Southern Oregon University, Ashland, Oregon, 12-16 June 2005
.


Co-Organizers: Robert Louis Chianese, California State University,
Northridge
(Robert.Chianese@csun.edu) and Carl A. Maida, University of California,
Los Angeles
(cmaida@ucla.edu)

This multidisciplinary symposium explores new or recent connections
between the humanities and science in order to survey positive
cross-fertilizations  they produce. C. P. Snow's "two cultures"
designation of decades ago seems belied by a  growing, respectful
melding of concerns that move beyond simplistic fact/value contraries.
Unforeseen collaborations of unique kinds between science on the one
hand and art,  literature, music, and architecture on the other mark the
current interdisciplinary scene.  Mainstream medical science finds
applications of various arts in healing; artists evolve  rich content,
forms, and technique from contemporary science theory and practice. New
aesthetically posed plasticized anatomy models as well as new imaging
modalities for the  body, nature, and cosmos draw scientists toward the
problematics of art. Eco-artists find  inspiration and motivation from
ecological science. New postmodern theorists find in  scientific theory
potential sources of new meta-narratives or fundamental principles that
check the radical relativism of contemporary postmodern thought. The
symposium seeks to  survey collaborations that eclipse former
antagonisms between science and the  humanities and provoke questions
about the very nature of each area as they draw from  and influence each
other. Papers for panel presentations should highlight the  potential
for creative work and new directions emerging from new humanities and
science  convergences. Papers discussing ethical, historical, and
cultural perspectives from the  humanities should focus on how these
insights can be integrated with scientific approaches. Case  studies of
science, technology and medicine should focus on skills and approaches
to interdisciplinary problem-solving across the sciences and humanities.
