Crossing The Divides (Workshop)

End: May 14, 2013 12:00:00 AM

A two-day conference organised by our good friend (and former PhD student) Hauke Riesch. This is an opportunity to catch up with plenty of friends of the department (old and new!) - and you can even spot one member of STS staff on the programme! Join us for some productive networking and plenty of discussion around topics of common concern. Anyone interested in exploring the connections between philosophy and sociology of science (both broadly construed) is very welcome!
