Darwinism after Darwin: new historical perspectives

A conference announcement, for all who are fond of this Darwin person, dear old Mister Darwin. "Darwinism after Darwin" (indeed the subject of many a Scienceblogs post) is being sponsored by the British Society for the History of Science (BSHS) and hosted by the University of Leeds, from September 3rd - 5th 2007. Should the drive to submit a paper proposal find its way to you, be a dear and click here for details on the official Call for Papers.

One might even accuse us of writing this otherwise rudimentary informational post for the mere chance to put this spiffy picture up. For shame.

To dissuade that reading, here's what we know of the conference:

Prior to celebrations getting underway for the 2009 Darwin sesquicentenary and bicentenary, the "Darwinism after Darwin: new historical perspectives" conference will provide scholars with an opportunity to think about the legacy of Darwinism. The idea is to encourage new historical perspectives on theories, experiments, and practices related to evolutionary theory from the mid-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth centuries.
The conference will include plenary lectures from eminent scholars in the field, along with various panel sessions, author-and-response seminars, roundtable discussions, and outreach activities. There will also be an opportunity for participants to engage in an outing to nearby Ilkely Moor. The conference will be located in the pleasant surroundings of Devonshire Hall, a short walk from Headingley and the university and only ten minutes by bus from the city centre.
