CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
The Canadian Society for the History and Philosophy of Science (CSHPS)is holding its annual conference as part of the Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences (CFHSS) at the University of Victoria,June 2-4, 2013.
The program committee invites scholars working on the history and philosophy of science to submit abstracts for individual papers or proposals for sessions.Proposals for sessions (3 and 4 paper) are particularly encouraged.
- Meeting languages.The CSHPS is a bilingual society. Individual papers may be given in English or French, but efforts to broaden participation are appreciated (e.g. a presentation in English could be accompanied by a PowerPoint in French, and vice versa). Similarly, sessions can be presented in either English or French, but bilingual sessions are especially welcomed.

We welcome proposals for joint sessions with these and other societies. However, no talk will be accepted for presentation at more than one society.
