Science in Context
Volume: 18
Pages: 173--178
Edition Details: Special Issue: Science in Latin-American Contexts -- Historical Studies
Language: English
This issue of Science in Context presents a collection of historical studies on various aspects of science and its practice as developed in Latin-American contexts. Relatively few scholars working in the history of science, and even in the more general field of science studies, have devoted their research to this field. Likewise, relatively little research has been done by scholars of Latin American studies on the cultural, political, and social impact of science, a field that is usually considered to be one of the central, defining aspects of modern, Western civilization.
