IUHPST Essay Prize in History and Philosophy of Science, Deadline: 15 Jan 2021

Call for entries: IUHPST Essay Prize in History and Philosophy of Science

Submission deadline: 15 January 2021

The International Union of History and Philosophy of Science and 
Technology (IUHPST) invites submissions for the 2021 IUHPST Essay Prize in 
History and Philosophy of Science. This biennial prize competition seeks 
to encourage fresh methodological thinking on the history and philosophy 
of science and related areas.

Entries in the form of an essay of 5,000?10,000 words in English are 
invited, addressing this year?s prize question: ?What can history and 
philosophy of science, technology and medicine contribute to our current 
global challenges?? What constitutes a current global challenge is left to 
the judgment of the authors, but examples include the coronavirus 
pandemic, climate change, socioeconomic inequality, racism, the refugee 
crisis, and science denialism.

All entries should consist of original work that has not previously been 
published. Entries written originally in another language should be 
submitted in English translation, along with the name and contact details 
of the translator. Entries will be judged on the following criteria, in 
addition to general academic quality: direct engagement with the prize 
question, effective integration of historical and philosophical 
perspectives, and potential to provide methodological guidance for other 
researchers in the field.

The author of the winning entry will be invited to present the work at the 
26th International Congress of History of Science and Technology (ICHST), 
25?31 July 2021, which will be held as an online event. Presenting at the 
Congress will be a condition of the award.

The award will carry a cash prize of 1,000 US dollars and a waiver of the 
Congress registration fee.

Other strong entries will also be considered for presentation at the 
Congress. In order to ensure this consideration, entrants should submit 
the entry also as a standalone paper abstract for the Congress by the 
deadline for that, following the standard instructions indicated on the 
Congress website: 
https://www.ichst2021.org/call-for-stand-alone-abstracts/ (extended 
deadline 10 January 2021).

Entries are invited from anyone, without restriction of age, nationality 
or academic status. Co-authored work will be considered; if the winning 
entry is a co-authored work the cash prize will be shared out among the 
authors.

This prize is administered by the Joint Commission of the IUHPST, whose 
remit is to make links between the work of the two Divisions of the 
IUHPST: the DHST (Division of History of Science and Technology) and the 
DLMPST (Division of Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science and 
Technology). For further information about IUHPST, see: http://iuhps.net

Entries for the prize competition should be submitted in pdf format by 
e-mail to the Chair of the Joint Commission, Prof. Hasok Chang, Department 
of History and Philosophy of Science, University of Cambridge 
(hc372@cam.ac.uk). Any queries should also be directed to him. The 
deadline for submission is 15 January 2021.
