Science and Empire

A joint seminar organised by CIUHCT and the Institute of Social Sciences of the University of Lisbon, consisting of presentations (15 min.) and discussion (45 min.) of works in progress on the subject of inter-connections between scientific knowledge, technology and imperial formations. This seminar calls on historians, anthropologists and social scientists in general, to jointly establish an interdisciplinary reflection on science and the colonial phenomenon.

Up to the 2017-2018 season, the organisers of the seminar were researchers Cláudia Castelo (CIUHCT) and Ricardo Roque (Empires RG/Instituto de Ciências Sociais). Since the 2018-2019 season, Bárbara Direito (CIUHCT) and Ricardo Roque have been the organisers.

The seminars take places on every second Wednesday of the month, from 12h30 to 13h30, alternating venues between the Faculty of Sciences and ICS, both within the University of Lisbon campus. Sessions are open to both the academic and non-academic community, as well as national and foreign researchers from various institutions.
