Contacting us
All queries will be dealt with by a representative of the Programmes Committee. Please contact us (preferably) by email at 3socs2008@bshs.org.uk, or by post at 3Societies 2008, School of Historical Studies, University of Leicester, University Road, Leicester, LE1 7RH, UK.
The theme of the meeting is Connecting Disciplines. Individual papers that reflect this broad theme are invited and participants are encouraged to respond to the diverse meanings it has for historians of science, technology and medicine and their colleagues in the wider scholarly community.
We will organise individual submissions to generate sessions (90 minutes to two hours) that will normally include either three or four papers. Papers may be co-authored or co-presented, but each paper will receive an equal time allocation (usually from 20 to 30 minutes including questions.)
Guidelines for submission
Please submit your abstract as a single electronic document containing the following information
- Your name and contact details
- Title of your proposed contribution
- An abstract, maximum of 250 words with no footnotes and comprehensible to a non-specialist audience. Your abstract should make clear how your proposed submission addresses the conference theme
- Details of any specific audio visual requirements for your presentation
In order that we can publicise the conference as effectively as possible, we will assume that in submitting an abstract, each participant is granting us the right to publish its content on the Conference website and elsewhere: if you do not wish your abstract to be publicised, please advise us explicitly. Where appropriate, we may contact you seeking further information for use in conference press releases.
No speaker may present papers in more than one session at this conference (this restriction does not apply to the designated Outreach and Education sessions.) Presenters in one session are welcome to commentate or chair in another.
Withdrawing a proposal
If you wish to withdraw your proposal, please notify us as soon as possible.
