The next PostGrad Café will take place on Wednesday 15th March at 5pm in the Senior Common Room, Glamorgan Building. In a change from the usual Café format Professor Harry Collins will discuss ‘Relativism in the Sociology of Science’, which will be followed by questions and a general discussion. Professor Collins is the convenor of the KES (Knowledge, Expertise, Science) research group and a past president of the Society for Social Studies of Science. The author of the bestselling ‘Golem’ series, in 2004 he published ‘Gravity’s Shadow: the search for gravitational waves’. It might be useful to read his introductions to the Sociology of Science and the ‘Science Wars’, both of which can be found on his webpage.
We look forward to seeing you there. As usual there will be snacks, soft drinks, wine and a friendly atmosphere.
Please note that the next PostGrad Café will be a postgrad discussion on the subject of relativism, to be held on Wednesday 29th March. If you would like to present a short discussion paper in an informal environment, please contact one of the PostGrad Café Team.
