CALL FOR PAPERS
XLIV Scientific Instrument Symposium
29 June – 5 July 2025
Part of the 27th International Congress of History of Science a nd Technology
Hybrid online and in-pe rson, University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand 
 
Peoples, P laces, Exchanges, and Circulation

 

The Inte rnational Congress of History of Science and Technology, held ever y four years, is the world’s premier meeting for history of science and tec hnology. The 27th Congress will be held as a hybrid in-person and online ev ent at the University of Otago’s Dunedin campus in June-July 2025. Delegate s registered for virtual participation will be able to both present and att end online. The Congress will bring together a diverse group of the world’s leading scholars and students in the fields of history of science, technol ogy, and medicine as well as related disciplines. It will be the first time the Congress has been held in Australasia and only the second time in the Southern Hemisphere.

Known for its evolutionarily distinctive flora a nd fauna, dynamic geology, pioneering industries, and medical innovations, New Zealand has much to offer the conference delegates. The country’s contr ibution to the history of science and technology began when Māori, the firs t settlers, used the sky and oceanographic knowledge as navigational indica tors to voyage across vast distances in the Pacific Ocean.

We are pla nning for upwards of 1000 delegates (most of them in-person) to participate in an exciting programme, themed Peoples, Places, Exchanges, and Circulati on. One of the most important trends in the field of the history of science , technology, and medicine has been a move towards more integrated, expansi ve, and connected histories that seek to include the participation of the e ntire world. Our Congress theme strives to further this development and to link different disciplines and perspectives. We also want to provide an opp ortunity for Indigenous voices, particularly those of Māori, to be heard.

The Congress theme emphasizes the importance of situating local knowle dge and practices in specific contexts as well as local or regional history of science, technology, and medicine in a global context. What difference does a global perspective make for local, national, and regional studies in the history of science, technology, and medicine? How are local and global contexts related? How do local histories change if they are analyzed using a different scale of analysis, for example a regional or global framework?

The theme, however, also stresses the importance of circulation or b ack-and-forth movement across borders involving encounters and exchanges. W e seek contributions that explore movement or flow between regions, culture s, or societies, specifically the circulation, exchange, and transit of kno wledge, techniques, texts, peoples, and material objects. How has this inte raction resulted in new configurations in the history of science, technolog y, and medicine? Nevertheless, circulation does not mean that flows are alw ays smooth.

Exchange and circulation involve local actors, who, in so me cases have played an important role as go-betweens or mediators between different knowledge systems, but also as mediators between producers and co nsumers around the world.

We particularly welcome contributions that explore the historical role of Indigenous peoples in the history of science , technology, and medicine.

Overall, our theme stresses inclusive his tories exploring peoples, places, exchanges, and circulation in the history of science, technology, and medicine from around the world.
