Many recent works in the history of science and knowledge address various aspects of materiality, including material culture, agentive matter, and the trajectories of materials, objects, and knowledge across geographic and epistemic borders. This workshop, which accompanies a new graduate history course taught by Professor Pamela Smith, seeks to introduce and discuss some of these new approaches. Visiting scholars Anna Grasskamp (University of Oslo), Dana Leibsohn (Smith College), and Alisha Rankin (Tufts University) will present their research in conversation with the work of local graduate students and scholars of material culture.
Attendance by invitation only. Please email scr2165@columbia.edu if you would like to attend.
