[Sule Tarakcioglu]

Call for Papers: "Heredity in the Century of the Gene (A Cultural History of
Heredity IV)"

International workshop: "Heredity in the Century of the Gene (A Cultural 
History
of Heredity IV)" at the University of Exeter, December 11-13, 2006

Organisers: Staffan Müller-Wille, Hans-Jörg Rheinberger, John Dupré

Deadline for Paper Proposals: March 31, 2006

The ESRC Centre for Genomics in Society, University of Exeter, and the
Max-Planck-Institute for the History of Science, Berlin, are jointly 
organizing
a workshop " Heredity in the Century of the Gene (A Cultural History of 
Heredity
IV)". This workshop, scheduled to take place at the University of Exeter
December 11–13 2006, is part of a series of workshops forming the 
backbone
of a long term research project on the cultural history of heredity. The 
project
aims to uncover the technical, juridical, medical, and scientific 
practices in
which the knowledge of inheritance was historically anchored in 
different epochs
and to understand the genesis of today’s naturalistic concept of 
heredity.
Scholars from a wide variety of disciplines, including historians of art and
literature, medicine, law, or economics, are invited to submit paper 
proposals.
Conference language is English. Costs for travel and accommodation will be
covered. For further information see the call for papers on the Egenis 
website
