Call for Presentations

The postgraduate section of the Centre of the History of Science, Technology and Medicine, University of Manchester has the pleasure to invite postgraduate research students to present their work during our Lunchtime Seminar Series planned for the academic year of 2023/2024. Applications for a presentation spot are currently open.

We are looking for papers which address any part of the vast field that is HSTM, either discussing locally-relevant topics, international subjects, transnational points, or general analytical commentary on historical items pertaining to science, technology and medicine.
