Welcome to the 2017 Meeting of the
International
Society for History, Philosophy and Social Studies of Biology (ISHPSSB)!
When: 16 to 21 July, 2017
Where: São Paulo, Brazil
The
International Society for the History,
Philosophy, and Social Studies of Biology (ISHPSSB) brings together
scholars
from diverse disciplines, including the life sciences as well as
history,
philosophy, and social studies of science. The biennial ISHPSSB summer
meetings
are known for innovative, transdisciplinary sessions, and for fostering
informal, co-operative exchanges and on-going collaborations.
The
2017 Meeting of the International Society for
History, Philosophy and Social Studies of Biology (ISHPSSB) will be
held
conjointly with the 2017 Brazilian History
and Philosophy of Biology Meeting (EHFB),
promoted
by the Brazilian
Association of Philosophy and History of Biology (Associação Brasileira
de
Filosofia e História da Biologia – ABFHiB). The ISHPSSB & ABFHiB 2017 Meeting will happen from 16 to 21
July, 2017, at the Institute
of Biosciences of the University of São Paulo, in the city of São
Paulo,
Brazil. Researchers and graduate students are welcome to submit papers in

Hitherto,
most meetings of the International
Society for History, Philosophy and Social Studies of Biology (ISHPSSB)
have
occurred in North America or Europe, with one meeting in Australia. The
occurrence of the ISHPSSB 2017
Meeting
in Brazil will stimulate a stronger participation of Latin American
researchers. The Brazilian History and Philosophy of Biology Meeting
(EHFB) of ABFHiB is a
medium sized series of annual conference that started in 2003. It
brings
together not only Brazilian researches, but also scholars from other
South
American countries. People concerned with the Zika virus outbreak should consult
information added at the page on Safety and Health of this web site, at the request of the Executive Committee of
the ISHPSSB.
During
the week following ISHPSSB & ABFHiB 2017, another
major international conference will also happen in Brazil: the 25th
International Congress of History of Science, Technology and Medicine (ICHST), promoted by the Division
of History of Science and Technology (DHST) of the International Union
for
History and Philosophy of Science and Technology (IUHPST). It will be
held in
Rio de Janeiro, from 23 to 29 July 2017. Hence,
people
attending the ISHPSSB & ABFHiB 2017 Meeting will be able to
attend the 25th International
Congress of History
of
Science, Technology and Medicine using a single international air
ticket.
