History 693S - S- Historiography/Sci,Tech,Med

This seminar will explore the history and methodology of the discipline of the history of science, technology, and medicine (HSTM). Readings will include important texts in the history of HSTM since it emerged as a field in the 20th century, as well as more recent examples of various methods and theories that define the state of the field at present. Students will be introduced to a range of scholarship within HSTM, which can inform future work in HSTM or more broadly speak to the role of historical arguments in shaping understanding of both the past and contemporary practices - in this case, science, technology, and medicine.

Open to Doctoral & Masters students only.
