Monday 9:00-11:45 AM with Professor Victor Seow

This seminar is the companion course to HISTSCI 3003A Historiography of the History of Science. Whereas the fall course served as an introduction to the classic and contemporary scholarship in the history of science, this spring course will focus on the production of original research on your part. Throughout, we remain committed to exploring what it means to be a historian of science in these times and to developing and honing scholarly and writerly skills that will allow us to undertake work in the field that is meaningful to ourselves and to others.
