This year we are turning our attention to methodology in HPS after the discipline's global turn, and building on the work of earlier groups: 'Decolonise HPS' (2019–23), 'Teaching Global HPSTM' (2023–24) and 'Teaching HPSTM Today' (2024–25). We will focus on different approaches to doing HPS, informed by intellectual lineages from different areas of the world.
Meetings will be held every other Friday, 2.00–3.30pm in the Board Room in the academic year 2025–26. All are welcome. Please contact Rosanna Dent (rd736) or Lewis Bremner (lb988) for more information.
