MEPHISTOS was created for and designed by graduate students in order to
provide a forum for fostering communication between grad students at
different universities, and to offer a chance for lively interchange
between those involved in the fields of Science Studies, broadly defined.
In particular, the conference offers a stress-free environment in which to
present research and discuss topics and trends in the field. We strongly
encourage students working in other non-HPS departments whose work touches
on areas in science studies to come and present their work in this
context.
Since we want to make this event ACCESSIBLE to graduate students on
limited budgets, we will provide as many people as possible with FREE
lodging on the couches, etc., of area graduate students. This limited
space is on a first-come, first-served basis, with those giving papers
receiving priority. There are some inexpensive rooms reserved in
graduate housing (~$30 a night) and we will offer a list of area lodging
upon request. Travel information is also available upon request, and we
will also attempt to provide coordinated carpool contacts to those driving
along the same route, if registrations are received early enough.
1 Funds permitting, travel subsidies which may become available will be
issued on the basis of the order in which we receive your registration
fee.
