How did the natural sciences shape the Atlantic world, and how did the Atlantic shape the sciences? This symposium is the first to discuss the simultaneous creation of natural knowledge and the Atlantic world in early modern Spanish, Portuguese, French, British and Dutch colonial experience. Instead of assuming a purely metropolitan or colonial perspective, Atlantic Knowledges will place transoceanic and intercultural processes center-stage. The program will explore the complex relations between heterogeneous knowledges and distinct colonial experiences before science and empire respectively assumed their more stable modern forms.
