2014 Digital HPS Consortium Annual Meeting: September 1-3 In Nancy, France

Following the meetings held in Pasadena (2011), Cambridge (2012), and Bloomington (2013), the 2014 edition of the Digital HPS Consortium Annual Meeting will be held in Nancy, France, from 1 to 3 September. Organized by Olivier Bruneau, Pierre Couchet, and Scott Walter, with support from the Henri-Poincaré Archives (University of Lorraine & CNRS) and the Maison des Sciences de l'Homme Lorraine, the meeting offers an opportunity for scholars in DHPS to present their publications, tools, and methods, to exchange ideas, and to form and nurture contacts with members of the international DHPS community. The working language of the meeting is English, but there will be plenty of occasions to practice speaking French, for those so inclined.

Located in the Lorraine region of eastern France, Nancy is easily accessible by high-speed trains from both Paris and Charles de Gaulle
airport (north of Paris). Travel directions, information on lodging, and a preliminary program will soon be available; stay tuned.

Scholars wishing to participate in the meeting are invited to register online, eventually disclosing a title and abstract for a 30-minute talk at their earliest convenience.

2014 Digital HPS Consortium Meeting Announced

eloneil — Fri, 22 Nov 2013 19:50:17 +0000

To keep abreast of the continually evolving meeting plan, please see the revised update "2014 Digital HPS Consortium Annual Meeting: September 1-3 In Nancy, France," or the page devoted to meeting content and logistics, to be updated as those specifics emerge: "September 1-3: 2014 Digital HPS Consortium Annual Meeting, Nancy, France."

The 2014 Digital HPS Consortium Meeting will be held in Nancy, France, in September. Hosted by the Nancy-Université and organized by Scott Walter and Olivier Bruneau, the meeting will be held in a format a bit different from years previous. The two-part meeting will include tools training for Digital HPS in addition to the traditional meeting of the Digital HPS Consortium. The training portion of the meeting will serve as an introduction to Digital HPS for many European digital projects and will include a combination of training in standards, methods, and tools.

Upcoming Consortium Colloquium at Indiana University Bloomington

eloneil — Thu, 14 Feb 2013 04:15:14 +0000

A Computational Research System for the History of Science and its Connections to Bioinformatics
Manfred Laubichler, Julia Damerow, & Erick Peirson of Arizona State University

Computational methods and perspectives can transform the history of science by enabling the pursuit of novel types of questions, expanding dramatically the scale of analysis (geographically and temporally) and offering novel forms of publication that greatly enhance access and transparency. In this talk we present a brief summary of a computational research system for the history of science, introduce some of the tools and use cases, discuss its implications for research, education and publication practices and its connections to the open access movement and similar transformations in the natural and social sciences emphasizing big data. One of the connections of this approach is with genomics and we will explore the isomorphic structure between different types of historically evolving information systems, such as genomes and science. We also argue that computational approaches help to reconnect the history of science to individual scientific disciplines.

Tuesday, February 19, 2013

HSS Newsletter: "Digital History and Philosophy of Science Consortium Meets at Cambridge"

eloneil — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 05:17:58 +0000

The History of Science Society published a full synopsis of the September 2012 meeting of the Digital HPS Consortium. In the October 2012 newsletter, "Digital History and Philosophy of Science Consortium Meets at Cambridge" outlines the sessions presented at the event, which ranged in topic from discussions of open-access standards and crowd-sourced public participation, to more technical aspects of metadata and computational tools. The broader themes and goals of the meeting were also reflected, and new working groups and committee members are also outlined in the conference wrap up.

In addition to the summary of past conferences reflected in the History of Science Society newsletter, information regarding the most recent meetings of the consortium can be accessed under the Meetings tab.

eloneil — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 04:58:52 +0000

Members of the Digital HPS consortium are convening at Indiana University Bloomington between February 18th and 20th. The spring 2013 meeting among Digital HPS consortium members will bring together researchers to discuss infrastructure development for future computational projects. Bill Newton and Wally Hooper of the Department for History and Philosophy of Science are hosting Manfred Laubichler and graduate students from Arizona State University in order to strengthen the collaboration between institutions.

A new web presence for Digital HPS!

Erick Peirson — Fri, 08 Feb 2013 01:16:30 +0000

At the most recent meeting of the Digital HPS Consortium, we decided to develop a new webpage to provide a more accessible clearing-house for information and resources, and to improve dissemination and growth of the dHPS community. To that end a team at Arizona State University Center for Biology and Society, led by PhD student Erica O'Neil, has created a new Drupal-based website at digitalHPS.org. The new site show-cases projects, people, and institutions that participate in the Digital HPS Consortium, and the open source tools for dHPS research and publishing developed by those participants. The site also provides information about both past and upcoming meetings of the Consortium. In the coming weeks, additional resources -- such as manuals, tutorials, and other content -- contributed by Consortium Participants will be added to the site.

All Consortium participants are encouraged to send updated information, relevant content, and suggestions for site features to Erica O'Neil (eloneil@asu.edu).
