Call for Proposals / Call for Abstracts Paul K. Feyerabend: A Centennial Celebration The 12th Annual Values in Medicine, Science, and Technology Conference (VMST-12) at The Center for Values in Medicine, Science, and Technology (CVMST) Bass School of Arts, Humanities, and Technology The University of Texas at Dallas May 23-24, 2024 2024 will mark the centennial of the birth of Paul K. Feyerabend and thirty years from his passing. Feyerabend was one of the most influential philosophers of science of the twentieth century, and his work helped pave the way for later developments in science and values, political philosophy of science, feminist and postcolonial science studies, the philosophy of scientific practice, and integrated history and philosophy of science. His masterwork, Against Method, was published nearly half a century ago, but we still have much to learn from reading Feyerabend's works and carrying them forward to new problems and projects. This year's Values in Medicine, Science, and Technology Conference will focus on the work of Paul K. Feyerabend and Feyerabendian themes in contemporary history and philosophy of science, science & technology studies, science policy, and other relevant areas. Virtual Presentation Proposals for virtual presentations are welcome. We will devote a segment of the conference for hybrid engagement with virtual presentations.
