Deadline for Submission: 1 June 2010 The deadline for the History of Science Society’s 2010 Reingold Prize for an essay by a graduate student is 1 June 2010. Please share this information with the scholars and students in your department and encourage students to enter their essays. For more information on the Reingold prize, visit the HSS website at http://www.hssonline.org/about/society_reingold.html. The ideal Reingold Prize paper should be original; historiographically sophisticated; based on primary sources, either published or archival; clearly argued; well written; and interesting. Successful papers in the past have come from parts of dissertations in progress or revised seminar papers. The prize recognizes an original and unpublished article (articles that have been accepted for publication are ineligible) on the history of science and its cultural influences written by a graduate student enrolled at any college, university, or institute of technology. Essays in the history of medicine are not eligible for the prize; however, papers dealing with the relations between medicine and the non-medical sciences are welcome. It is hoped, but not assured, that the winning article will merit publication in Isis. Essays submitted for the competition must be thoroughly documented, written in English, must not exceed 8,000 words in length (exclusive of footnotes), and should conform to the latest edition of the Chicago Manual of Style. We encourage electronic submissions of Word, rtf, or pdf documents (file size under 5 megabytes – pictures should be low resolution) to Esta dirección electrónica esta protegida contra spam bots.

All information identifying the author by name or school should be removed from the document except for a coversheet that is separate from the body of the paper. If sending hard copies to the address below, send three copies of the essay with a detachable cover sheet (essays are read without knowledge of the authors' identity). All essays are due at the Executive Office by 1 June 2010.

Necesita activar JavaScript para visualizarla ). The Prize is named in memory of David Edge (1932-2003). David was trained in astronomy, and worked with the BBC before becoming the first Director of the Science Studies Unit at the University of Edinburgh in 1966. He had a strong administrative and intellectual role in the development of science and technology studies, as we know it today. He was active with the 4S from its beginning, and served as President and received the Bernal award for lifetime achievement. Throughout his life, David lent his tremendous energy to a broad range of interests and activities. Especially pertinent for this new award was his role as co-founder and long-term editor of /Social Studies of Science/ (1970-2002). He was no ordinary editor: his unparalleled enthusiasm and unique personal touch pervaded even the most routine aspects of editing, and his encouragement and diligent work with new authors helped launch many careers in the field. /Eligibility for the Prize/ - Published papers that have undergone peer-review are eligible: This includes papers that have appeared in print journals and in e-journals as well as chapters in edited volumes. In the latter case, proof that the papers have undergone peer-review must be provided. Chapters in monographs (such texts are covered by the 4S book prizes) are not eligible. - Publication dates: The prize committee will consider papers that appeared in the years* 2008 and 2009* in print or electronically (e-journals) in final form. What counts are the 'official' publication dates, and not the dates when preprints (electronic or otherwise) are first available. - Authorship: Single-authored and co-authored articles are eligible. There are no restrictions concerning the author's professional status. - Language: Texts published in a language other than English can be considered when an English translation is made available. /Procedures/ - _Committee_:/ /Membership on the prize committee is ex-officio.

AHRC Collaborative Doctoral Award at Science Museum London and School of Geography, University of Nottingham ‘British Small Craft’: the cultural geographies of mid twentieth century technology and display Supervisors: Prof David Matless and Prof Mike Heffernan (University of Nottingham), Dr Tim Boon and David Rooney (Science Museum) The University of Nottingham’s School Of Geography, in collaboration with The Science Museum London, is seeking to award a fully-funded PhD studentship from October 2010. The studentship, which will support three years of full-time study, is funded through the Arts and Humanities Research Council Collaborative Doctoral Awards Scheme. The studentship available is for a doctoral research project on ‘British Small Craft’: the cultural geographies of mid twentieth century technology and display. The project will investigate the ‘British Small Craft’ displays within the Shipping Gallery of the Science Museum, London, revealing the stories behind the collection and the individual objects displayed, providing a close analysis of individual artefacts, examining public engagement with the museum, and connecting the displays into wider cultural debates concerning British identity, maritime cultures and the cultures of landscape (and seascape) in mid twentieth century Britain. The ‘British Small Craft’ display opened in 1963, though much of the material was acquired in the 1930s. It comprises fifteen showcases of models of British boats, largely coastal, arranged primarily by geographical region, and presented within landscape scenes. The Shipping Gallery is now the oldest unmodified gallery display at the Science Museum; plans for closure and removal in 2013 give timeliness to this study. The research will draw on extensive archival holdings at the Science Museum, and will contribute to the online public resources of the Museum. In line with research council requirements, the studentship is open to UK or EU citizens who have been resident in the UK for the last three years. Standard tuition fees and (for UK students only) a maintenance grant (for 2009-10 the level of grant was £13,290) will be paid by the AHRC for three years. The studentship also includes £2,000 towards annual research costs from the Science Museum. Applicants should have a First Class or Upper Second Class degree, and should ideally have or be undertaking a Masters degree in a relevant discipline such as geography, museum studies, cultural studies or history, or have relevant research experience in an appropriate field. The successful candidate will work within the Cultural and Historical Geography Research Group http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/geography/ in the School of Geography, University of Nottingham, and with the research staff of the Science Museum. The student will benefit from engagement with museological and curatorial practice at one of Britain's leading museums.
