Developed out of a 2015 conference of the History of Education
Society, UK, this book explores the interconnections between the
histories of science, technologies and material culture, and the
history of education. The contributions express a shared concern
over the extent to which the history of science and technology and
the history of education are too frequently written about
separately from each other despite being intimately connected. This
state of affairs, they suggest, is linked to broader divisions in
the history of knowledge, which has, for many years, been carved up
into sections reflective of the academic subject divisions that
structure modern universities and higher education in the West.
Most noticeably this has occurred with the history of science, but
more recently the history of humanities has been divided as well.
The contributions to this volume demonstrate the diversity and
originality of research currently being conducted into the
connections between the history of science and the history of
education. The importance of objects in teaching and their value as
pedagogical tools emerges as a particularly significant area of
research located at the intersection between the two fields of
enquiry. Indeed, it is the materiality of education, a focus on the
use of objects, pedagogical practices and particular spaces, which
seems to offer some of the most promising avenues for exploring
further the relationship between the histories of science and
education. This book was originally published as a special issue of
the History of Education.
