> MEPHISTOS was created for and designed by graduate students in order to
>provide a forum for fostering communication between grad students at
>different universities, and to offer a chance for lively interchange
>between those involved in the fields of Science Studies, broadly defined.
>In particular, the conference offers a stress-free environment in which to
>present research and discuss topics and trends in the field. We strongly
>encourage students working in other non-HPS departments whose work touches
>on areas in science studies to come and present their work in this
>context.
>
> Since we want to make this event ACCESSIBLE to graduate students on
>limited budgets, we will provide as many people as possible with FREE
>lodging on the couches, etc., of area graduate students. This limited
>space is on a first-come, first-served basis, with those giving papers
>receiving priority. There are some inexpensive rooms reserved in
>graduate housing (~$30 a night) and we will offer a list of area lodging
>upon request. Travel information is also available upon request, and we
>will also attempt to provide coordinated carpool contacts to those driving
>along the same route, if registrations are received early enough.
>1 Funds permitting, travel subsidies which may become available will be
>issued on the basis of the order in which we receive your registration
>fee.
