This seminar explores the history of science in connection with the expansion of European empires. We examine how knowledge about peoples and environments helped Europeans extend control around the world, and how dynamics of power shaped scientific understandings. Our readings highlight the history of anthropology, ecology, geography, and medicine, and the evolution of such concepts as race, ethnicity, and nature.
