History of Science Society Centennial Meeting (November 7-10, 2024)

Gisela Mateos and Edna Suárez Díaz (HSS Merida Local Arrangements Committee)

The History of Science Society, for the first time in its one hundred years of existence, met in a Latin American country on November 7-10. The colonial city of Mérida (funded in 1542), in the Mexican state of Yucatán, received five hundred historians of science, probably the most geographically diverse crowd since the society’s creation by Belgian-American George A. Sarton. Colleagues from East and South East Asia, South and North America, and all corners of Europe gathered to celebrate the centennial of the oldest professional society in our area. The more than 160 academic sessions included organized sessions and an exceptional number of roundtables that aimed to reflect on our profession’s past and future. The C3W project was well represented by Liang Wan, Lu Chen, Gisela Mateos, Sarah Marks, Sarah Howard, Dora Vargha, and Edna Suárez-Díaz, who participated with individual papers, as panelists, and as chairs in six different sessions. Our subject matter has made meaningful inroads into mainstream history of science!
