A Forum on Contemporary Histories of Science, Technology, and Policy
Sponsored by the AAAS Archives and the Chemical Heritage Foundation’s Center for Contemporary History and Policy, the AAAS-CHF History Seminar is an informal forum on the social, institutional, and intellectual histories of contemporary policy problems that rely upon science and technology. Invited speakers will explore the historical genesis of a wide range of current policy topics, such as energy, environment, and health.
