CHMST Journal Club: Isis
Location: FAB3.26 Faculty of Arts Building
Our new journal club meets once a term to discuss the latest number of a leading journal in a relevant sub-discipline. Led by Michael Bycroft, this term we’ll be looking through a current issue of the history of science journal Isis. Read as much or as little as you wish (from just the abstracts, to whole articles), and join us to discuss how the contents reflect the current state of the field.
The issue we'll be discussing is the latest, or current, one: vol. 116, no. 3.
The abstracts are available here: https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/toc/isis/currentLink opens in a new window
The pieces we are looking at are a) the five under the heading 'Articles' and b) the four under the heading 'Focus: American Science and Conservative Religion.'
Participants are encouraged to read the nine abstracts before the meeting. Some might also want to read one or more of the articles, but that's optional. Some of the pdfs are freely available online, whereas others require an institutional login.
