[Sule Tarakcioglu]

Ways of Making and Knowing: The Material Culture of Empirical Knowledge
Location:	United Kingdom

“Ways of Making and Knowing: The Material Culture of Empirical
Knowledge”, a conference sponsored by the Wellcome Trust Centre 
for the
History of Medicine at UCL, the Wellcome Trust, and the Yale Center for 
British
Art will be held July 11-15, 2005 in London. New work in the history of 
material
culture will be used to break down common historiographical dichotomies 
between
craft skill and scientific knowledge, and to showcase studies 
demonstrating that
natural knowledge flowed from engagement with natural things. Within a
chronological range of Renaissance through 19th century, historians of art,
science, and medicine and museum scholars will engage in a programme of 
lectures
and hands-on demonstrations. Programme and registration are available at 
the web
address or e-mail address provided below. Registration closes May 15, 2005.
