The 12th
International Conference on the History of Science in East Asia
第十二屆國際東亞科學史會議 (ICHSEA)
Johns Hopkins
University, Baltimore, Maryland
JULY 14-18, Monday-Friday, 2008
– CALL FOR PAPERS –
The International
Society for the History of East Asian Science, Technology, and
Medicine (ISHEASTM) will hold its Twelfth International
Conference at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland,
July 14-18, 2008. The central theme for the Twelfth Conference
will be “Tribute to a Generation.” Among the “High Ancestors” of
our organization most members would include Joseph Needham,
Yabuuti Kiyosi, Zhu Kezhen, Li Yan, and Qian Baocong. In
addition to providing a forum for the latest scholarship in the
history of science, technology, and medicine in East Asia, at
our 2008 conference we will honor our field’s “Second
Generation”: Professors Li Di, Pan Jixing, and Xi Zezong in
mainland China, Yamada Keiji and Nakayama Shigeru in Japan, Jeon
Sang-Woon and Park Seong-Rae in Korea, Ho Peng-Yoke in Malaysia,
and Nathan Sivin in the United States
Each one of these
scholars in their own way and national contexts laid the
foundations in scholarship, journals, infrastructure,
institutional commitment, and training during the second half of
the 20th century for the global ISHEASTM community that exists
today. In addition to having their bibliographies and academic
biographies posted on the conference, society, and journal
websites, each honoree will have conference panels related to
their respective research fields formally designated in their
honour. There will also be a special reception hosted by the
Department of the History and Sociology of Science of the
University of Pennsylvania in honour of Professor Sivin’s
contributions to the field and his establishment of the
society’s journal Chinese Science in 1975. Finally, there will
be a memorial session in commemoration of the life work of
Professor Li Di.
With this “Tribute to a Generation” in mind, the society
encourages panel proposals centred on general themes these
scholars developed in the field and which continue to flourish
in new directions. Panels formed with such themes explicitly
will be given priority. The society also encourages panels in
core disciplines of the field including mathematics, astronomy,
technology, alchemy, medicine and public health, and the life
sciences in East Asia. Papers dealing with any of these
wide-ranging themes will be welcome as it is the intent of the
Organizing Committee to encourage broad participation from both
senior and junior scholars. Individuals may also submit
proposals for consideration separately from a panel or choose to
present their research as a poster board to be exhibited with
the display of recent books, journals, and announcements.
