Science and its Imaginaries between the “Second” and the “Third” Worlds. Futures roundtable within History of Science Society Annual Conference

Original language description

Recent scholarship on the history of science, medicine, and technology in global socialist contexts has thrown light on new understandings of scientific knowledge production and practice. Concurrently, research on postcolonial spaces and exchanges involving broader geographies has questioned established narratives of how we can understand science itself. As part of this effort to decentralize the history of global science, the investigation of socialist internationalism in science demonstrated the importance of cooperation and knowledge exchange between the so-called “second” and “third” worlds. In our roundtable will look beyond the practices of socialist internationalism and focus on the mutual perceptions of science between the “second” and “third” worlds and the ways in which they have influenced knowledge exchange. Drawing on the speakers’ expertise spanning four continents, we will discuss how the underlying imaginaries and stereotypes of science were shaped at the intersection of political, social, cultural, and epistemic interests and influences. Stepping away from the binaries of North/South and East/West to viewpoints outside of the ‘usual suspects’ of the United States, Soviet Union, and Western Europe, this roundtable explores possible futures for the history and historiography of science with the inclusion of overlapping socialist, developing and decolonising spaces and networks. Roundtable members bring perspectives from North Africa and the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Latin America, and East Asia to the discussion, which will weave together historical and historiographical questions to explore possible trajectories in the history of science. How does the integration of imperfect pasts of state socialism and colonial relations affect the way we think about the history we are writing, the politics of scientific knowledge production and practice, global exchanges, and what we believe constitutes science? How does this approach shape conceptual underpinnings and methodological approaches in research?
