Call for entries: IUHPST Essay Prize in History and Philosophy of Science

 Call for entries: IUHPST Essay Prize in History and Philosophy of Science


Call for entries


IUHPST Essay Prize in History and Philosophy of Science


Submission deadline: 15 January 2023


The International Union of History and Philosophy of Science and Technology

(IUHPST) invites submissions for the 2023 IUHPST Essay Prize in History and

Philosophy of Science. This biennial prize competition seeks to encourage

fresh methodological thinking on the history and philosophy of science and

related areas.


This year’s prize question is inspired by the theme of the 17th

International Congress on Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science and

Technology, “Science and Values in an Uncertain World.” Current global

challenges such as the pandemic and climate change are pervaded by

epistemic and material risks. Science plays an increasing role in policy

and personal decisions, yet its application is sometimes contested. We

therefore invite entries, in the form of an essay of 5,000–10,000 words

written in English, addressing the question: “How can history and

philosophy of science, technology, and medicine help us to understand and

evaluate the role of values in science?” This question may be interpreted

broadly.  Submitters are encouraged to specify what kinds of values are in

question.


All entries should consist of original work that has not previously been

published. Entries written originally in another language should be

submitted in English translation, along with the name and contact details

of the translator. Entries will be judged on the following criteria, in

addition to general academic quality: direct engagement with the prize

question, effective integration of historical and philosophical

perspectives, and potential to provide methodological guidance for other

researchers in the field.


The author of the winning entry will be invited to present the work at the

CLMPST in Buenos Aires, Argentina, 24–29 July 2023. Presenting at the

Congress will be a condition of the award.


The award will carry a cash prize of 1,000 US dollars and a waiver of the

Congress registration fee.


Other strong entries will also be considered for presentation at the

Congress. In order to ensure this consideration, entrants should submit the

entry also as a standalone paper abstract for the Congress by the deadline

for that (December 15, 2022), following the standard instructions indicated

on the Congress website: https://clmpst2023.dc.uba.ar/callforpapers


Entries are invited from anyone, without restriction of age, nationality,

or academic status. Co-authored work will be considered; if the winning

entry is a co-authored work the cash prize will be shared out among the

authors.


This prize is administered by the Joint Commission of the IUHPST, whose

remit is to make links between the work of the two Divisions of the IUHPST:

the DHST (Division of History of Science and Technology) and the DLMPST

(Division of Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science and Technology).

For further information about IUHPST, see: http://iuhpst.org/


Entries for the prize competition should be submitted in pdf format by

e-mail to the Chair of the Joint Commission, Dr. Agnes Bolinska, Department

of Philosophy, University of South Carolina (bolinska@mailbox.sc.edu). Any

queries should also be directed to her. The deadline for submission is 15

January 2023.

History of the Human Sciences, Early Career Prize 2020-21

 

 

 

History of the Human Sciences – the international journal of peer-reviewed research, which provides the leading forum for work in the social sciences, humanities, human psychology and biology that reflexively examines its own historical origins and interdisciplinary influences – is delighted to announce details of its prize for early career scholars. The intention of the annual award is to recognise a researcher whose work best represents the journal’s aim to critically examine traditional assumptions and preoccupations about human beings, their societies and their histories in light of developments that cut across disciplinary boundaries. In the pursuit of these goals, History of the Human Sciences publishes traditional humanistic studies as well work in the social sciences, including the fields of sociology, psychology, political science, the history and philosophy of science, anthropology, classical studies, and literary theory. Scholars working in any of these fields are encouraged to apply.

 

 

Guidelines for the Award

 

Scholars who wish to be considered for the award are asked to submit an up-to-date two-page CV (including a statement that confirms eligibility for the award) and an essay that is a maximum of 12,000 words long (including notes and references). The essay should be unpublished and not under consideration elsewhere, based on original research, written in English, and follow History of the Human Science’s style guide. Scholars are advised to read the journal’s description of its aims and scope, as well as its submission guidelines.

 

Entries will be judged by a panel drawn from the journal’s editorial team and board. They will identify the essay that best fits the journal’s aims and scope.

 

 

Eligibility

 

Scholars of any nationality who have either not yet been awarded a PhD or are no more than five years from its award are welcome to apply. The judging panel will use the definition of “active years”, with time away from academia for parental leave, health problems, or other relevant reasons being disregarded in the calculation.

 

 

Prize

 

The winning scholar will be awarded £250 and have their essay published in History of the Human Sciences (subject to the essay passing through the journal’s peer review process). The intention is to award the prize to a single entrant but the judging panel may choose to recognise more than one essay in the event of a particularly strong field.

 

 

Deadlines

 

Entries should be made by Friday 29th January 2021. The panel aims to make a decision by Friday 30th April 2021. The winning entry will be submitted for peer review automatically. The article, clearly identified as the winner of the History of the Human Sciences Early Career Prize, will then be published in the journal as soon as the production schedule allows. The winning scholar and article will also be promoted by History of the Human Sciences, including on its website, which hosts content separate to the journal.

 

 

Previous Winners

 

2019-21’s winner was Danielle Carr (Columbia) for their essay, “Ghastly Marionettes and the political metaphysics of cognitive liberalism: Anti-behaviourism, language, and The Origins of Totalitarianism”. The committee also awarded a special commendation to Katie Joice (Birkbeck) for their essay “Mothering in the Frame: cinematic microanalysis and the pathogenic mother, 1945-67”. You can read more about these essays in interviews with Danielle and Katie on the journal’s website.

Neu-Whitrow Prize Announcement 2021

The Neu-Whitrow Prize is awarded every four years to an individual or team for creating the most innovative research tool for managing, documenting and analyzing sources within the history of science and technology.

The Prize is awarded by the Commission on Bibliography and Documentation (CBD) of the International Union of History and Philosophy of Science and Technology/Division of History of Science and Technology (IUHPST/DHST). The CBD invites submissions for the third Neu-Whitrow Prize to be awarded in 2021. The primary goal is to encourage the development of innovative research tools which includes bibliographies, archival finding aids and other scholarly resource discovery tools.
The award will be announced at a ceremony to be held at the 26th ICHST conference in Prague. The winner receives a prize of US$500 and a certificate. The winner will also be invited to be a member of the Advisory Board of the CBD.
The entries will be judged on their content, usability, and precision. They can be either print-based or digital. Information about the prize, eligibility and submission process can be found below.
ABOUT THE PRIZE:
The inauguration of the prize commemorated the centenary of the Isis Bibliography of History of Science, which was started in 1913 by George Sarton. After Sarton, two bibliographers, John Neu at the University of Wisconsin, and Magda Whitrow at Imperial College, London, carried on Sarton’s legacy. This prize recognizes the efforts of those two bibliographers for the work that they did to support history of science scholarship around the world.
The Neu-Whitrow Prize will be awarded to a scholar of history of science and technology. The primary goal is to encourage the development of innovative research tools which includes bibliographies, archival finding aids and other scholarly resource discovery tools.
The prize is administered by the Commission and is awarded every four years, during the International Congress of History of Science and Technology.
ELIGIBILITY
We welcome submissions by archivists, historians, librarians, undergraduate and graduate students, independent scholars, professional teachers and researchers.
REQUIREMENTS
A submission must be a complete bibliography, archival finding aid or similar scholarly discovery tool that will be of use to scholars doing research in the field of history of science or a related discipline. It can be either a print or digital entity or both. Innovative digital tools that enable scholarly discovery of resources are encouraged.
Although the items described may be in any language, the descriptive notes must include English descriptions. In other words, all individual records or citations must have English descriptive matter if they are not in English. Titles and other citation references need not be translated.
The work submitted for consideration must have been completed between January 1, 2017 and January 1, 2021.
WHAT TO SUBMIT
  • Fill out the submission form here. This form asks a few basic details: your name, email address, project title, and abstract. For digital projects, you should also include the URL of the project. (If your project is not a digital project, you must attach a PDF of the project entry as described below.)
  • Once you have submitted the form, you must send us a separate email with a descriptive essay of 2000 to 3000 words in English. The essay should be sent as a PDF attachment to cbd.dhst@gmail.com. The subject line should read: 2021 NWP Submission – your name. The essay must explain the purpose and nature of the work. It must answer the following questions: What is its purpose? Why is it important? Who will benefit? Are there any other relevant discovery tools or resources available of a similar sort and if so, how is this different?
  • If your project is not a digital project, you must also attach a PDF of the project entry to this email.
JUDGING
Every four years, the CBD will form a panel of three experts to judge the entries. One of the three judges will be selected to chair the committee. Any member of the CBD governing board or advisory board who is closely associated with one or more proposals for the prize is not eligible for the judging panel. The entry will be judged on three criteria: content, usability, and precision.
Content: The overall tool must be adequately described and each individual resource must also be appropriately documented. Content will be judged on its overall coherence and the adequacy of descriptions and documentation. The tool must be produced between January 1, 2017 and January 1, 2021.
Usability: The organization and/or indexes must make the entries easy to navigate and understand. Usability will be judged on how clearly the scope and limitations are presented, on how easy it is to locate specific items, and on how well items are cross-referenced.
Precision: The tool must incorporate appropriate international standards, and its format must be explained in the accompanying descriptive essay. Precision will be judged on how well the creator has followed the chosen format. Because the Prize encourages innovation, it is possible to depart from standard formats where necessary, but such changes need to be justified in the descriptive essay.
TIMELINE
April 15, 2021 is the deadline for submissions. May 15, 2021 is the selection of the winner.
THE PRIZE
The winner receives a prize of US$500 and a certificate. The winner will also be invited to be a member of the Commission’s Advisory Board.

NAGRODA im. JANA JĘDRZEJEWICZA DLA NAJLEPSZEJ KSIĄŻKI POŚWIĘCONEJ HISTORII NAUKI I TECHNIKI

Żyjący i pracujący w Płońsku Jan Jędrzejewicz (1835–1887), lekarz i astronom, był uczonym cenionym na arenie międzynarodowej i wybitnym popularyzatorem nauki, autorem Kosmografii, wydanej w 1886 roku nakładem Kasy im. Józefa Mianowskiego. Pragnąc uhonorować i spopularyzować tę ważną w dziejach polskiej nauki postać, jak również propagować polskie piśmiennictwo na temat dziejów nauki i techniki, dwie instytucje, Komitet Historii Nauki i Techniki PAN oraz Kasa im. Józefa Mianowskiego – Fundacja Popierania Nauki, zwróciły się do Burmistrza i Rady Miejskiej w Płońsku z propozycją utworzenia cyklicznej Nagrody im. Jana Jędrzejewicza. Pomysł ten spotkał się z życzliwym przyjęciem i 24 stycznia 2013 roku Rada Miejska w Płońsku podjęła uchwałę o ustanowieniu corocznej Nagrody im. Jana Jędrzejewicza dla najlepszej książki poświęconej historii nauki i techniki, wydanej w roku poprzedzającym wręczenie Nagrody. Wysokość Nagrody, która po raz pierwszy została przyznana w 2013 roku, wynosi 10 tys. zł netto. Laureata Nagrody wyłania siedmioosobowa Kapituła, powołana przez Komitet Historii Nauki i Techniki PAN, Kasę im. Józefa Mianowskiego i Burmistrza Miasta Płońska. Wniosek o przyznanie Nagrody mogą zgłaszać przedstawiciele polskiego środowiska naukowego i kulturalnego oraz wydawnictwa, nadsyłając dwa egzemplarze książki wraz z krótkim uzasadnieniem do siedziby Kasy im. Józefa Mianowskiego (więcej informacji w regulaminie Nagrody).

JAN WALERY JĘDRZEJEWICZ (14 IV 1835, Warszawa – 19 XII 1887, Płońsk), astronom, lekarz. Syn Jana, adwokata, i Ewy Konarzewskiej. Po ukończeniu w 1852 roku warszawskiego gimnazjum realnego rozpoczął studia na Wydziale Architektury Szkoły Sztuk Pięknych w Warszawie. Porzucił je jednak i ostatecznie w latach 1856–1861 studiował medycynę na Wydziale Lekarskim Uniwersytetu Moskiewskiego (utrzymując się z korepetycji i lekcji muzyki). Po studiach odbył podróż naukową po Europie, a po powrocie otworzył w 1862 roku praktykę lekarską w Płońsku. Stopniowo gromadził instrumentarium astronomiczne i meteorologiczne. W latach 1872–1875 uruchomił w Płońsku prywatne obserwatorium astronomiczne, którego głównym instrumentem był zakupiony u Steinheila ewkatoriał z obiektywem o średnicy 162 mm, oraz stację meteorologiczną. W 1883 roku uzupełnił wyposażenie obserwatorium refraktorem Cooke’a o średnicy 140 mm.
Najważniejszym wkładem w astronomię są jego obserwacje gwiazd podwójnych, prowadzone od 17 VI 1876 do 4 XI 1887 roku; ich wyniki weszły w skład A General Catalogue of Double Stars Within 121° of the North Pole S. W. Burnhama (Carnegie Institution of Washington, 1906). Rezultaty swoich spostrzeżeń publikował w „Astronomische Nachrichten”, a w „Vierteljahrschrift der Astronomischen Gesellschaft” umieszczał regularnie sprawozdzania z działalności obserwatorium. Opracowywał również i publikował gromadzone przez siebie dane meteorologiczne za lata 1875–1887, poszukując związków między warunkami pogodowymi i pojawianiem się niektórych chorób. Był jednym z najwybitniejszych popularyzatorów nauki swoich czasów: dał wiele odczytów publicznych, umieszczał artykuły w prasie (m.in. „Korespondent Płocki”, „Przyroda i Przemysł”, „Wędrowiec”, „Wszechświat”). W 1886 roku nakładem Kasy im. Józefa Mianowskiego ukazała się jego Kosmografia, uznawana za najlepszy polski podręcznik astronomii przełomu XIX/XX wieku. Jej drugie wydanie opublikowano w 1907, a wydanie trzecie, reprintowe – w 1980 roku.
Zmarł na tyfus, wypełniając obowiązki lekarza. Wspominając go w 1893 roku w „Kurierze Codziennym”, Bolesław Prus pisał: „Jędrzejewicz nie robił odkryć zdumiewających, bo na to dziś nie wystarczy zapał do nauki ani nawet geniusz, lecz potrzebne są jeszcze pieniądze. Robił jednak badania samodzielne, którymi czcigodne nazwisko zapisał w rocznikach astronomicznych”.
Po śmierci Jędrzejewicza jego obserwatorium, należące do najlepiej wyposażonych na ziemiach polskich, staraniem uczonych warszawskich zostało w 1898 przeniesione do Warszawy i ulokowane na terenie Szkoły Technicznej Wawelberga i Rotwanda. Obserwatorium nadano im. Jana Jędrzejewicza.
