The annual meeting of the HSTM Network Ireland will be held this year, in person, at Dublin City University. We invite submission of abstracts for consideration.

We welcome the submission of organised panels as well as individual papers on any topic related to the history of science, medicine and technology. We welcome submissions from scholars inside and outside of academic institutions and at any stage of their career. The subject need not be Irish.
Possible themes for papers and panels include, but are not limited to:
- Disability
- Artificial intelligence and human-technology interface
- Intersections between health and social inequality
- Histories of engineering and infrastructure
- HSTM in local history
- Sustainability
- Relationships between science and religion
- Feminist and decolonial approaches to HSTM
Submission of papers on any theme are welcome.
The conference fee will not exceed €60 per person to include tea/coffee/lunch. Unfortunately, we are a small organisation and cannot pay for speaker travel expenses. Please note that there are small grants for conference travel for postgraduate students available through, for example, the Society for the Social History of Medicine (https://sshm.org/bursaries/).
