Colonial Knowledges: Environment and Logistics in the Creation of Knowledge in British Colonies from 1750-1950.
We are a network of interested parties and scholars researching the creation of knowledge in British colonies from 1750 to 1950. We are aligned with the history of science, the history of humanities, and the history of knowledge; we welcome interest from any discipline and career stage, in or out of academia, and from across the globe.
We are presently running an online seminar series and in Feb 2020 we ran a successful conference.
This network is interested in how colonial environments shaped knowledge and knowledge creation: how British colonisers sought to overcome obstacles and work around unfamiliar climates, flora and fauna; how the colonial environment fought back and disrupted knowledge processes; how the existence of local scholarships and knowledge influenced British knowledge practices. For a more detailed breakdown see our conference call for papers.
We would be thrilled if you want to keep in touch! Sign up to the Colonial Knowledges mailing list for news and updates including information on our online seminar series: https://forms.gle/dxsbgjxdJBWSxLtA6
