ASNST-324 Science & the Question of Difference: Marginals in the Production of Modern Knowledge

This historiographical seminar critically examines how scholars across the humanities and humanistic social sciences have examined ‘science’ in the period following World War II. This period witnessed a range of moral critiques that exposed the ways an ‘objective’ science had created, advanced, and sustained global structural inequalities. Students will engage with these critiques of science by reading key texts in post-colonial theory, feminist critiques of science, and histories of the human sciences, particularly psychology, medicine, and sexology.
