make connections, and receive feedback from peers and faculty in a congenial
environment. The anticipated schedule is for 30 minute student presentations,
followed by a 10 minute response by a student commentator, and 15-20 minutes
for follow-up questions and discussion. There will also be a poster session
reception intended to facilitate discussion, particularly suited to works in
their early stages of progress, ideas on new methodologies or tools in HPS, or
novel ways of extending HPS into the public sphere.

or an abstract or description (~250 words) of a topic for a poster. Dual

All graduate students are welcome to attend. If you are planning to
