Opening up the History of Science

In the 21st century, research in the History of Science has evolved to encompass a more diverse and global outlook. It has grown beyond its longstanding connection to the sciences and philosophy and become of significant interest among scholars from diverse disciplines in, for example, History, Geography, History of Art, Museum Studies and Musicology. The series Opening up the History of Science publishes monographs and edited volumes that welcome and contribute to this expanding field of studies. The series has a broad remit to cover histories of science, technology, engineering and medicine that might appear elsewhere but will also embrace histories of popular science, science education, science journalism and science in the media. Volumes might examine relations of science and gender, science and empire, science and the arts or scientific instruments. The series encourages innovative work on non-western traditions of natural knowledge, the global circulation of ideas, practices, and material culture and studies of persons and communities who have traditionally been excluded from the field. The series is committed to opening up the field to new approaches, methodologies and disciplinary perspectives, and publication in open access ensures this principle also applies to distribution and availability of books in the series.
