The Science Museum, London, in association with the
British Society for the History of Science
and the Institute of Contemporary British History is organising
a major conference which will take place on 25/26 June this year.

The topic is `Defiant Modernism' : a term chosen
to describe a historical epoch of enormous change as the
technologies developed  during the Second World War were exploited
in war and adapted for civilian use. The period can be seen as
stretching from the Munich crisis of 1938 to the student uprisings of 1968.
The period saw World War, the Cold War, retreat from Empire,
cultural competition between Europe and America, and cycles
of economic depression and prosperity.

For the programme, please see the conference web site:
