The Midwest Junto for the History of Science and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) invite students, faculty, and independent scholars to participate in the 54th Annual Meeting of the Midwest Junto, to take place on the UNL campus in Lincoln, Nebraska, from Friday, 1 April to Sunday, 3 April 2011.
Short papers (about 15-20 minutes) on any topic in the history of science, technology, and medicine, or the philosophy of science and technology, are welcome. A brief abstract (one-page maximum) should be submitted no later than 22 February 2011 to the program organizer, David Cahan (see address below). Abstracts may be submitted electronically in an e-mail message or as an attachment, or in paper format. We especially encourage graduate students to participate. Acceptance of paper notifications will follow around 1 March. Graduate students who present a paper may request a partial subsidy for lodging from the Midwest Junto.
We have reserved a block of rooms for conference participants at the recently remodeled Holiday Inn Downtown. Rooms have double or king-size beds, and sleep 1-4 person(s) per room, as desired. The (discounted) room price ($99/night) includes a hot, buffet-style breakfast and parking. To receive the discounted price, participants must reserve a room before 21 March 2011 under “Midwest Junto for the History of Science.” (Block code: MJH) Please call the Holiday Inn at 402-475-4011 or use its website (www.holiday-inn.com/lincolnne).
On Friday evening, 1 April, there will be a reception at the Holiday Inn for all registered participants. On Saturday, 2 April and on Sunday, 3 April (until noon), the conference proper take place on the nearby UNL campus (in Architecture Hall 127), which is about a 5-minute walk from the Holiday Inn. Coffee and other refreshments will be served throughout the conference. The cost of registration, which includes the reception (hors d’oeuvre and cash bar) and the conference, is $40. On Saturday evening, there will be a banquet at Lazlo’s restaurant, also near the Holiday Inn and the UNL campus. This year’s after-dinner speaker (the Stuart Pierson Memorial Lecturer), will be Professor Robert Seidel of the University of Minnesota. The banquet (dinner and cash bar) costs $25.
