Mephistos is a graduate student conference on the history, philosophy, and sociology of science, technology, and medicine that provides an opportunity for graduate students to present papers, participate in discussions, and meet other students in their field within a relaxed, informal setting. Each year Mephistos is held at a different institution and we are pleased to announce that the 2003 conference will be held at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, USA, Thursday March 6th - Saturday March 8th.

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS:

The Mephistos 2003 Organizing Committee welcomes the submission of papers from graduate students on topics which analyze issues in (or related to) the history, philosophy, and sociology of science, technology, and medicine. Papers should take no longer than 20 minutes to present (that is, they should be approximately 2,500 words long) and should be accompanied by a 200 word abstract. The abstracts should appear on a cover page along with the title, your institutional affiliation, and your name and contact information (your name should not appear anywhere else in the paper). Further, if possible, papers should be submitted as Word documents.
