Beyond the center: Sciences in Central and Eastern Europe and their histories An interview with Professor Michael Gordin conducted by Jan Surman
Journal Title: Studia Historiae Scientiarum - Year 2016, Vol 15, Issue
Abstract
What is special about sciences in Central and Eastern Europe? What are the obstacles for writing histories of science done beyond metropoles? Is this science different than the science in the centers and what makes it so? How imperial are sciences made by representatives of dominant nations compared to non-dominant nations? These are some of the questions touched upon in the interview with Michael Gordin, a leading historian of science from Princeton University.
