2015-2016 Working Groups

The Consortium invites scholars to participate in topical working groups for challenging and collegial discussion of works-in-progress and important publications. Groups meet once per month to discuss papers in subfields of the history of science, technology and medicine. Scholars can participate in person or online through a video conferencing system. Last year more than 130 scholars from nearly 60 institutions participated in Consortium working groups.
