\nIntellectual humility has become an increasingly prominent topic in philosophy and psychology. Scholars working on it\, however\, have noted two significant gaps in the literature. These result essentially from researchers (a) focussing predominantly either on conceptual analysis or on empirical investigation in controlled environments and (b) conceiving of intellectual humility almost exclusively as a trait or state exhibited by individuals. The two lacunae this has created are\, firstly\, a relative dearth of research on intellectual humility in social contexts\, and secondly\, an almost total lack of work on intellectual humility as a collective or institutional virtue. To fill these gaps\, authors have advocated expanding the investigation to other fields\, and an area that has been identified as a potentially fruitful but largely untapped arena is the history\, philosophy\, and sociology of science. Being concerned largely with intellectual activity in various social and institutional contexts\, these disciplines can shed important light on intellectual humility not only as an individual but also a collective virtue and on the kinds of social and institutional settings that might foster or disincentivise it. The purpose of this informal workshop is to bring together researchers in the history\, philosophy\, and sociology of science at the Department of Philosophy\, Durham University to share their work in progress on the topic.
