Dear all,
The ISoS Lectures are the regular lecture series of the Institute for Studies of Science (ISoS) at Bielefeld University. This semester’s edition of the ISoS Lectures is dedicated to the topic of Scientific Concepts, bringing together contributions that reflect on the role, evolution, dynamics, and transformation of scientific concepts, as well as how concepts shape interactions between science and society.
As part of our series, we are very pleased to welcome Nancy Cartwright (University of Durham & UC San Diego) to Bielefeld.
