Dear HPS/STS scholars,
The History and Philosophy of Science Undergraduate Society (HPSUS) at the
University of Toronto is excited to announce that registration for the Eighth
International Undergraduate Research Conference on Science, Technology,
Medicine, and Society (STMS) is now open.
Taking place on Thursday, March 21st, and Friday, March 22nd, 2024, our 2-day
virtual conference features 14 excellent undergraduate submissions from
multiple institutions, as well as a keynote address from Dr. Heather Douglas
on her most recent research titled: "Revisiting the Social Construct in
Science". Attendees will get a chance to interact with the keynote speaker and
student presenters during Q&A sessions and social hours.
The theme this year is "Individuals and Institutions of Science", with
presentations that explore the intricate relationship between individuals and
institutions in our society and the constructs, practices, and ethical
dilemmas that emerge as a result. Some examples include reflections on our
collective understanding of concepts such as motherhood, malnutrition, and
disability, as well as developments in gender-affirming care, Artificial
General Intelligence, and vaccinations.
Please visit our conference webpage for the official program, presenters'
abstracts, and the registration form:
https://hpsus.sa.utoronto.ca/stms-conference-2024/. Registration is free and
open to all. Attendees are welcome to drop in and out according to their
availability but are encouraged to attend as many sessions as possible.

conference!
