SEESHOP 1 Conference (August 2007) Cardiff
The first SEE workshop was held at Cardiff on 16-19 August 2007. The main presenters were the contributors to the special issue of Studies in History and Philosophy of Science entitled Case Studies of Expertise and Experience to be published in December 2007. Abstracts and extended summaries of the papers are available from the links below.
The workshop was a successful and lively gathering with animated discussions about a range of topics, including the nature of tacit knowledge, the use of interactional expertise and the importance of retaining a role for specialist expertise. Whilst is it hard to judge the success of an event objectively, the fact that we now have firm plans for a another special issue based on the papers and offers to host SEESHOPS 2 and 3 suggests that something worthwhile is taking place.

SEESHOP 6 (June 08-10, 2012) Cardiff
Deadline for Abstracts: 31 March 2012
The sixth meeting (SEESHOP6) will be held in Cardiff from 8 (starting in the afternoon) to 10 June 2012.
SEESHOP6 will be split into two parts:
Part 1 provides a platform for the presentation and discussion of SEE-related research. We invite contributions that add to SEE or the Third Wave programme, either through theoretical or empirical research. The number of presentation slots is limited. If selected, contributors are expected to present for a maximum of 20 minutes with 40 minutes reserved for discussion.
Part 2 is dedicated to the in-depth development of particular aspects of SEE and the Third Wave programme. The following topics are currently considered:
- A discussion of the role and characteristics of democratic institutions under 3W
- Adjustments to the Periodic Table of Expertises in the light of recent research
- Exploring the prospects for joint grant applications to NSF and ESRC
- Work on the ‘Interactive Map of SEE/ Third Wave’
The actual weight given to the two parts will depend on submissions and expressed interest.
There is limited funding available to assist participants with travel and accommodation costs. If you need such assistance, please mention it in your application.
