Dear IAU Division C members,

This is a reminder that abstracts are due for the Society for the Social
Studies of Science (4S) meeting on May 26,
2023. Remote participation is an option. The conference is November 8th -

Johnson Urama and I have organized a panel for people studying astronomers,
astrophysics, observatories, indigenous
astronomy - all things related to the sky and people. It isn't necessary to
address the theme of the conference or
the panel.

98. Cultural Astronomy: The meeting point of Sea, Sky, and Land
https://4sonline.org/news_manager.php?page=31445

Before the advent of modern astronomy, our forebears had always wondered at
the land, sea, and sky and struggled to
make sense of it - looking for interconnections and interdependence. These
facilitated deeper meanings such as the
astronomy found in religious beliefs, cosmogonies, cosmologies, divination
practices and sky mythologies. They
observed the sky and sea for practical reasons such as for agriculture,
navigation, time-keeping and weather
prediction. Indigenous, endogenous, traditional, or cultural astronomy
focuses on the many ways that people and
cultures interact with celestial bodies from ancient times to knowledge
still practiced today. The theme of this
conference, 'Sea, Sky, and Land: Engaging in Solidarity in Endangered
Ecologies' agrees, to a large extent, with the
research and education collaboration between UNESCO (United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization) and the IAU (International Astronomical Union) to implement
'Astronomy and World Heritage' as part of
UNESCO's thematic initiative. The objective of which is to demonstrate a
link between science and culture on the
basis of research aimed at acknowledging both the cultural and scientific
values of properties connected with
astronomy. Underlaying this UNESCO initiative is properties must be of
'Outstanding Human Value', which begs the
question of who determines this. This panel invites people studying ancient
astronomical practices, astrophysicists,
and those working with Indigenous peoples today to share practical steps of
preserving, conserving and sustaining
such Indigenous knowledge and practices.
