1. CALL FOR APPLICATIONS: Philosophy of Biology Graduate
Training Workshop,
FUTURE DIRECTIONS IN THE HISTORY, PHILOSOPHY, AND SOCIAL STUDIES OF BIOLOGY WORKSHOP.
A
Philosophy of Biology Graduate Training Workshop is being held in
FDISH is structured around four invited speakers, various small-group
roundtable discussions, practical workshops, and planned, but informal,
meetings with faculty from around the greater San Francisco Bay Area and
elsewhere.
The workshop features talks by Jay Odenbaugh (Lewis
and Clark College), Jason Robert (Arizona State University), Kim Sterelny (The Australian National University and Victoria
University, Wellington), and Edna Suárez Diaz
(Universidad Nacional Autónoma
de México), as well as other faculty participants.
The application deadline is July 14th, so please get those applications in as
soon as possible! Furthermore, we have funds available for graduate student
travel reimbursement (though students must be ISHPSSB members to qualify).
Please apply online: http://www.ishpssb.org/workshop2004/registration.htm
If you have any questions about our workshop, please
do not hesitate to write me. Below I have attached a flyer that can be posted
to advertise our workshop, I would appreciate it if you could print it out and
post where appropriate.
The philosophy of biology is intertwined closely with the history and sociology
of biology, and so graduate training in these areas should also be integrated.
As such, FDISH has invited and seeks scholars and graduate students of these,
and other, disciplines to join us.

sciences. Depending on the availability of funds, ACLS will provide fellowships
for up to eleven recently tenured faculty, most of
