meetings in the History & Philosophy of Science(s). I now have received
a large number of replies and, prompted by an off-list note from Cathy
Willermet at Arizona State, here's a summary. For the information
contained, I thank _all_ who sent me mail, but particularly George Gale,
Arno Wouters, Richard Burian, and Kelly Smith.

Two gophers maintain up-dated conference lists in history and
philosophy of science:

the "Science Studies" gopher at gopher kasey.umkc.edu

the Utrecht University Philosophy gopher at gopher phil.ruu.nl


Of interest this coming October are the joint meetings of the History of
Science Society, the Philosophy of Science Association and the Society for
Social Studies of Science, in New Orleans. The meetings will be at the
Clarion Hotel from October 13-16. For more information you should contact
the HSS Secretariat (c/o Keith Benson, Department of Medical History and
Ethics, University of Washington, SB-20, Seattle, WA 98195) or the PSA
Secretariat (c/o Peter Asquith, Department of Philosophy, Michigan State
University, East Lansing, MI 48824) or the Soc. for Social Studies of Science

These are to be held in Leuven, Belgium [which, I might add, is a very
interesting place to visit even if, unlike me, you don't get a sense of
temporary relief by observing some other society than your very own
grapple with the daily stresses of politically charged bilingualism.

Hope this is of use to some of you.
