IAS Seminar by Dr Jarita Holbrook (University of Ediburgh / Harvard Smithsonian)
Abstract
As a team member of the project designed by Durham University Professors David Alexander (astrophysics) and Sara Uckelman (philosophy) focused on the community, physical location and curated experiences that lead to scientific advancements, Dr Holbrook is interested in the role of astrophysics conferences and workshops in advancing science. The project utilises both her background in astrophysics and her nearly three decades of experience as a social scientist studying living people. This presentation will be an overview of the project and will include preliminary results.
Places are limited and so any academic colleagues or students interested in attending in person must register here for a place.
