The topic for the 2024 Du Châtelet Prize in Philosophy of Physics is: Physics in the writings of 19th century women.

Submissions are invited on the writings of women in the nineteenth century that discuss or otherwise engage with the concepts, foundations, or methods of any area of physics, or with the nature and scope of physics itself. The topic should be construed broadly to include: any genre in which the women were writing; “physics” as understood then and/or now; both the experimental and the theoretical; and physics in relation to other areas of inquiry. Submissions may address the work of a single figure or multiple figures. We are interested in any work that from today’s perspective might be viewed as a contribution to philosophy of physics in the 19th century.

The deadline for submissions is September 8th, 2024, and the submission portal will open in August. For more details see here.
