Science, Technology, and Medicine in East Asia : Policy, Practice, and Implications in a Global Context
October 7–9, 2011
The Ohio State University
Mershon Center for International Security Studies
1501 Neil Avenue
Columbus, OH 43201
Since the end of World War II, historical and contemporary developments in East Asian science, technology, and medicine have received increasing scholarly attention partly due to historian of Japanese science James R. Bartholomew's career-long commitment to the field and his mentorship of a younger generation of scholars.
This interdisciplinary conference proposes to examine the ways in which the sciences in East Asia – whether basic or applied, from technology to medicine—have shaped and been shaped historically, and are being transformed in the contemporary world by political, economic, institutional, social, and cultural forces, both regional and global.
In honor of and reflecting the career of Professor Bartholomew, the organizing committee invites complete panel proposals, as well as proposals for individual papers, round table discussions, or poster presentations on modern Japan and East Asia, especially, but not limited to, themes which engage the interstices between any field of science, technology, or medicine and such topics as social and political policy, national security, gender, environment, justice, aesthetics and values and the like, as well as other topics.
Complete panel proposals and round table sessions should be comprised of three or four persons, including the chair/discussant. A panelist may also serve as chair. We also welcome creative panel formats. If you are interested in serving as a discussant for another panel, we ask that you send a short cv and statement of interest and specialty in a single attachment named with your last name and the word “discussant,” e.g., “Smith discussant,” to David.Blaylock@eku.edu .
Submission deadline: Friday, July 1, 2011
Panelists should consider how their papers fit within one of the following subthemes and indicate this in the proposal.
• Tradition and Modernity in Science, Technology and Medicine
• Embodied Subjectivity: Race, Class, and Gender in Science, Technology and Medicine
• Ideologies of Science, Technology and Medicine
• Geographies of Scientific and Engineering Knowledge
• Science, Medicine, and Technology in War and Peace
