TALKS FOR 2005-06
The
Klopsteg seminar series in
SCIENCE IN HUMAN CULTURE
The SHC seminar series is funded by a generous grant from the Klopsteg
Fund to encourage scholarship and teaching in the domain of the
two cultures. The seminar generally meets on Fridays at noon to
hear speakers discuss science, medicine, and technology in their
social, philosophical, or historical context. We send out regular
bulletins to remind our audience of up-coming talks. If you wish
to be added to our electronic mailing list, please contact Barbara
Phelan.
The location for the talks, unless otherwise indicated, is the
Hagstrum Room, 201 University Hall, Evanston Campus. All talks begin
at 12:00 noon.
