The Routledge Handbook of Science and Empire introduces readers to
important new research in the field of science and empire. This
compilation of inquiry into the inextricably intertwined history of
science and empire reframes the field, showing that one could not
have grown without the other. The volume expands the history of
science through careful attention to connections, exchanges, and
networks beyond the scientific institutions of Europe and the
United States. These 27 original essays by established scholars and
new talent examine: scientific and imperial disciplines, networks
of science, scientific practice within empires, and decolonised
science. The chapters cover a wide range of disciplines, from
anthropology and psychiatry to biology and geology. There is global
coverage, with essays about China, Southeast Asia, the Pacific,
Australia and New Zealand, India, the Middle East, Russia, the
Arctic, and North and South America. Specialised essays cover
Jesuit science, natural history collecting, energy systems, and
science in UNESCO. With authoritative chapters by leading scholars,
this is a guiding resource for all scholars of empire and science.
Free of jargon and with clearly written essays, the handbook is a
valuable path to further inquiry for any student of the history of
science and empire.
