Perspectives on Science

Join us for a discussion on the history of mining and the intersections of history of science with several other fields. How are mines sites of knowing the world, and how is that knowledge contested? How has our understanding of what a mine is changed over time, and what does that mean for how mines are studied? What can the methods and sources used in studying mines teach us about trends in the history of science and science studies? Discussants are:

Allison Margaret Bigelow
University of Virginia

Victor Seow
Harvard University

Jessica Smith
Colorado School of Mines
