Transversal: International Journal for the Historiography of Science<\/a> is pleased to announce a Call for Papers for a special issue on the work of women in sciences and philosophy.<\/p>\n Research into the history of women philosophers and scientists has long been neglected. Especially, the historiography of the 19th and 20th century has tended to exclude, marginalize and trivialize women\u2019s contribution to scientific issues, problems and developments.<\/p>\n There is currently a movement toward correcting this historical bias. The past twenty-five years have seen an explosion of a re-reading and re-forming of the historiography of science, by integrating women into it.<\/p>\n The journal invites contributions placing women at the forefront and confirming their role in the production of modern scientific and technical knowledge and its philosophical foundation. We especially welcome papers on the question of how women\u2019s studies impacted on the traditional history of scientific values and approaches.<\/p>\n Language:\u00a0English Read about women in Science in Manguinhos:<\/p>\n History of women in science \u2013 in pictures<\/a>\u00a0– To celebrate the International\u2019s Women\u2019s Day, The Guardian newspaper published a collection of photos of women in science.<\/p>\n Zika and Aedes aegypti: new and old challenges<\/a>\u00a0– The current issue of HCSM (vol.24 no.4 Oct.\/Dec. 2017) features a debate about the zika epidemic, which came to the fore when the disease raised a series of concerns related to birth defects.<\/p>\n Women in Medicine Legacy Foundation Research Fellowship<\/a>\u00a0– Preference will be given to projects that engage specifically with the history of women physicians, other health workers, or medical scientists.<\/p>\n Zika virus and rubella: similarities and differences<\/a>\u00a0– Researcher Ilana L\u00f6wy, from the Institut National de la Sante et de la Recherche M\u00e9dicale Paris, traces a parallel between the current zika epidemics in Brazil and past rubella outbreaks.<\/p>\n Una perspectiva feminista de la historia de la medicina<\/a>\u00a0– Entrevista con la investigadora Teresa Ortiz-G\u00f3mez sobre los aportes del feminismo a la historia de la medicina.<\/p>\n
