Two-day virtual workshop sponsored by the Society for the History of Alchemy and Chemistry.

SHAC’s annual series of workshops fosters interdisciplinary exchange among graduate students and early career scholars from any field whose work engages with the history of alchemy and chemistry. We invite proposals for short, 10-minute virtual presentations related to secrecy in the history of alchemy and chemistry. Proposals representing any geographic region and time period are welcome. We especially encourage projects pertaining to alchemical ciphers, information networks, trade secrecy, intellectual property, toxicology, agnotology, and the military industrial complex.

The virtual workshop will be held on June 3-4, 2021, 10am–2pm EST. Presentations will be grouped thematically and followed by synthetic discussion. Please send a 200–300 word proposal along with your CV by February 15th, 2021 to SHAC Student Representative Alison McManus, at studentrep(at)ambix.org. Successful applicants will be notified in early March.

Organizers: Alison McManus (Princeton University), Sarah Hijmans (Université Paris Diderot), Sarah Lang (Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz)
