The
conference keynote speaker will be Pamela O. Long, an independent historian who
has published widely in late medieval and Renaissance history of science and
technology, and intellectual history. Her book, Openness, Secrecy, Authorship: Technical Arts and the Culture of
Knowledge from Antiquity to the Renaissance was awarded the Morris D.
Forkosch Prize for the best book in intellectual history published in 2001. She
is the author of two SHOT/AHA booklets, Technology,
Society, and Culture in Late Medieval and Renaissance Europe, 1300-1600
(2000); and Technology and Society in the
Medieval Centuries: Byzantium, Islam and the West, 500-1300 (2003). Recent
work includes Obelisk: A History
(co-authored with Brian Curran, Anthony Grafton, and Benjamin Weiss, MIT Press,
2009); and a three volume edition, translation, and group of studies of a book
written by a fifteenth century oarsman: The
Book of Michael of Rhodes: A Fifteenth-Century Maritime Manuscript
(co-edited with David McGee and Alan Stahl, MIT Press, 2009). She is at work on
a cultural history of engineering in late sixteenth-century Rome.

Selected papers related
to the conference theme will be considered for publication in the conference
