McFarland Center Event - March 24-25, 2017
Conference: Globalization of Science in the Middle East and North Africa, 18th-20th Centuries — This conference brings together scholars to explore important issues related to the history of science in the Middle East and North Africa region during the 18th-20th centuries — a critical period of change and modernization when Middle Easterners were concerned about rising power of European states and societies and the relative weakness of Islamic ones. Keynote speaker Carla Nappi, Canada Research Chair in Early Modern Studies and associate professor of history at the University of British Columbia, will talk about “How to Write a History of Science from a Global Perspective.” Supported by the Rehm Family Fund.
