Supporting Philosophy, Theology,
Please note that as of the 1st of August 2011 the Subject Centre for PRS entered a 5 month transition phase prior to its closure on the 31st of December 2011. Most pages on this website are no longer being updated, apart from resources from the last academic year's activities.
History of Science
The History of Science, Technology and Medicine (HSTM) is a vigorous interdisciplinary field that is represented in many UK institutions of Higher Education, variously in departments of History, Philosophy, Social Studies or as autonomous groups or 'Centres'. Its vibrant research culture is now complemented by an increasingly strong commitment to developing teaching in HSTM, teaching that typically consists of contributions to mainstream degree programmes and specialized service courses for students in non-HSTM programmes. Research and development of both sorts of teaching are nurtured by the Subject Centre within its wider remit of supporting pedagogy in the field of History and Philosophy of Science (broadly construed).
