Call for Papers for the Series History and Philosophy of Technoscience

There is a popular view that science discovers and technology applies, a view that is increasingly under threat. Technoscience refers to a growing number of fields such as nanotechnology, synthetic biology and climate studies where it is not possible to separate the scientific from the technological. This series addresses historical and philosophical issues surrounding technoscientific research and explores the rich and complex interconnection between science and technology, a connection that has been moulded by centuries of engagement with real world problems.

We invite submissions from established scholars and first-time authors alike. Prospective authors should send a detailed proposal with a rationale, chapter outlines and at least two sample chapters alongside a brief author's biography and an anticipated submission date.

Send your proposals to:
