STAND (Historical Commission on Science, Technology and Diplomacy)
Early Career Research Seminars 2025-2026,
Call for Participants
This is an open call for participants for the STAND (Commission on Science, Technology and Diplomacy) Early Career Researchers Seminar series for 2025-2026. The commission and its members examine the broad history of science, technology and diplomacy and are looking for post-grads and early career researchers to present during next year's online seminar series.
We are looking for researchers who address the history of science, technology and medicine in their broad international contexts. Topics include but are not limited to: science diplomacy, international cooperation in fields related to science, technology and medicine, and the transnational circulation of technoscientific and medical knowledge, materials and expertise. Please see our website for more information on previous presenters, and the work we do: https://sciencediplomacyhistory.org/postgraduate-early-career-initiatives/
The seminars will run from October 2025 to ca. May 2026 usually on the first Thursday of the month - dates tbc with organisers - and will be held on Microsoft Teams.
Seminars last one hour and usually consist of a brief presentation followed by Q&A. Possible formats include:
A pre-circulated work-in-progress paper (journal article draft, thesis chapter, book chapter etc) of 10-20 pages, using the seminar as an opportunity to gain feedback or suggestions for improvement.
A 20-30 minute presentation on your current research, followed by Q&A, discussion and feedback.
An ‘in conversation with’ session where you are paired with someone with similar research interests, to have a discussion on a particular topic. You can also use this time to raise questions to experts or individuals working on similar topics to you.
We welcome inquiries regarding alternative seminar formats, and encourage you to get in touch if you are interested!
Please send any expressions of interest to STAND.ECR@gmail.com, in an email which includes your name, short bio and a brief summary of your research as it pertains to the seminar. We don’t need anything further at this stage, but please indicate what format of session you would prefer. We also encourage you to email us if you have any questions, queries or would like to be included in the mailing list for the seminars if you are not already.
We’re particularly looking for someone to fill our October (Thurs Oct 9th) session - so if you have some work you want feedback on soon, please let us know!
Kind regards,
Alice and Kat
