6th Graduate Student Conference
Each spring, our Graduate Student Association organizes a conference for students working on topics relating to the history and/or philosophy of science. The conference provides an opportunity for graduate students to share their work, make connections, and receive feedback from faculty and peers in a congenial environment. In Anticipation of the 2024 Eclipse: Graduate Conference on the Historical and Philosophical Aspects of Astronomical Events.
Celestial events have played a crucial role in shaping cosmological models, philosophical thought, and technological advancements. This conference aims to explore the multifaceted nature of eclipses, as well as other astronomical events, incorporating viewpoints from the history of science, philosophy of science, and social studies of science.
