Hosted in Manipal, India, this workshop marks the second stage in a multi-stage collaborative initiative between Canadian, Indian and Southeast Asian scholars in the field of Science and Technology Studies (STS). Following the successes of the “Circulating Knowledge: East and West” workshop held at the University of King’s College in July, 2010, the workshop will adopt a comparative approach to examine the rise of science and concepts of nature in the “East” and the “West”.
