We are pleased to announce the program of the conference "Control in Historical and Systematic Perspectives," to be held March 2 - March 5, 2022 hosted by the Department of History and Philosophy of Science and Medicine. The conference is part of a Sawyer Seminar, a year-long research institute funded by the USA-based Mellon Foundation. The overall topic for the year is “Rigor: Experimental Control, Analysis, and Synthesis in Historical and Systematic Perspectives”. The spring conference will deal specifically with the development and theorization of control practices in the 18th and 19th centuries, their roots in the pre- and early modern periods, and their connections to broader understandings of rigor and validation in practical inquiry.
The conference will take place entirely on Zoom.
Participation is free, but please register by email at rigor@indiana.edu
