The symposium honours the life and work of Catherine Will, Professor of Science and Technology Studies, ÃûæÂÖ±²¥. Catherine died in 2024 and left a legacy of academic work across a number of social science areas, including science and technology studies (STS), sociology of health, medicine and illness, politics and economics of health, social practices, research methods, social theory and social justice.

This one-day symposium will bring together researchers from a range of disciplines and topics that have connections to themes and approaches in Catherine’s work. We are calling for short papers (ten minute presentations) in any area related to STS; politics, economics and sociology of health, medicine and illness; sociology as practice and social theory.

Please present abstracts in the following way:

• Name
• Institutional Link (if any)
• 150 words outlining the focus of your contribution and links with Catherine and her work
• Up to 5 keywords

Please send abstracts to Dr Mark Erickson by Friday 31 January 2025 by emailing: mie23@sussex.ac.uk

Our hope is to be able to put the event on without any charges to participants, and we are assuming that most participants will be able to cover their own travel and accommodation. However, if you need help with this please give us an indication of the kind of support needed and costs involved (accommodation/ travel).

An event registration page will be made available closer to 14 April.
