We are pleased to announce the 26th annual MEPHISTOS graduate student
conference devoted to the History, Philosophy, Sociology and Anthropology of
Science, Technology, and Medicine. It will take place April 4-6, 2008, at
the University of Texas at Austin.

TOPICS: The MEPHISTOS Organizing Committee welcomes proposals for individual
papers from graduate students examining issues related to the History,
Philosophy, Sociology, and Anthropology of Science, Technology, Medicine, and
Health. Applicants should not, however, feel constrained by the above-listed
disciplinary approaches. We welcome paper proposals from all disciplinary
fields. Further, applicants should not feel restricted to the modern and
contemporary time period as we strongly encourage paper proposals devoted to
early modern, medieval and renaissance periods as well.

HOW TO APPLY: All interested applicants please submit a CV and an Abstract
(200-300 words, separate attachments preferred) by email to:
mephistos2008gmail.com. Please include in your CV full contact information,
department and university affiliation, and level in graduate program.

DEADLINE: January 1, 2008

ACCEPTANCE: Letters of Acceptance will be emailed to applicants in February
2008. MEPHISTOS presentations are expected to be 15 minutes in length. In
accordance with MEPHISTOS traditions, lodging will be provided to conference
speakers, and some modest travel grants will also be available-for both
international and domestic travelers.
