WHEATS brings together graduate students working on topics that touch on one or more of the workshop's core thematic areas of agriculture, the environment, science, and technology, to discuss their research in a focused and intimate setting with one another and with faculty and graduate students at the host university. Papers are precirculated, and the central task of the workshop is for all participants to give useful and constructive feedback on one another's work. We welcome submissions from students in a range of disciplines whose research engages at least one of these areas historically, including but not limited to history; history of science, medicine, or technology; STS; geography; anthropology; sociology; and others.
