Call for abstracts (2^nd CfP)

 

Every other year the EuChemS Working Party on the History of Chemistry (WPHC) organizes an international conference on the history of chemistry, open to colleagues from all over the world. The general aim of the conferences organised by the WPHC is to facilitate communication between historically interested chemists, museum curators, science educators and historians of chemistry, and to gather the community on a regular basis. The 14th International Conference on the History of Chemistry (14 ICHC) will take place from 11 to 14 of June, 2025 in Valencia, Spain, on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea.

 

The 14 ICHC will be hosted by the Lopez Piñero Inter-University Institute - University of Valencia, an academic institution which supports research projects and outreach activities on historical and social studies on medicine, technology, science and the environment.

 

The general conference theme is Chemistry & Capitalism with the aim to foster debates about the relationship between chemistry broadly constructed, industry, environment, and regulations through a historical perspective. A non-exhaustive list of possible topics includes:

 

-Chemistry/chymistry in the market before capitalism

-Artisans & industries

-Globalization & corporative powers

-Experts in economy & science

-Fascist science

-Communist science

-Gendered technologies

-Regulation & decision-making

-Commodification & circulation of chemistry

-Toxics & agriculture

-Environmental history

-Labor & trade unions in chemistry

-Neoliberalism & academy

-Communicating science and propaganda 

-Chemistry in mass media

Sessions and papers on all aspects of the historical development of material and life sciences are also welcomed.

 

The conference programme will include scientific sessions, and the following key-note lectures:

 

- Francesca Antonelli (Universitat de València), “Compound Interests: The Paulze and Lavoisier Families between Chemistry, Administration, and Politics (1760s–1830s)”

 

- Angela Creager (Princeton University), “Chemical Passports: Environmental Science, Information, and Regulation in the Trade of Toxic Substances”

 

- David Edgerton (King's College London), “What can chemistry tells us about capitalism, and what can capitalism tells us about chemistry?”

 

The conference will also feature an early Career information session, the Commission for the History of Chemistry and Molecular Sciences (CHCMS) Early Career Lecture, the John and Martha Morris award ceremony, the WPHC business meeting, as well as social events such as a welcome party, a conference dinner, and a visit to the blast furnace and other industrial heritage sites in the city of Sagunto, which also preserves a Roman castle and theater.
