This course will take an interdisciplinary approach (drawing on cultural history, anthropology, gender studies, and philosophy) to the study of Chinese science, technology, and medicine in its intellectual, social, and cultural context. We will critically assess the conclusions on 'culture' derived from the received historiography on Chinese science, and also examine emerging trends in current research. Knowledge of Chinese is not required.
