Seminar
Biological Sex and Race in the Colonial Sciences, 1700-Present
Sarah Katherine Bellows-Blakely
Kommentar
What is the history of the science behind biological sex (male, female, intersex, and all of the messiness within and between these categories)? Why and how have scientific understandings of biological sex been so deeply politicized and connected to various forms of violence? How did race and racism grow in and through scientific explorations of biological sex, especially in imperial and colonial contexts? Which understandings of biological sex became dominant or accepted as truth while others were cast aside, erased, covered up, or forgotten? These are just a few of the questions that we will ask in this discussion-based seminar. Drawing from a range of readings in the global histories of science, gender and sex(uality), race and ethnicity, and empire, this seminar will simultaneously interrogate the science behind biological sex; its inextricable connections to notions of race and ethnicity; the violences of empire; and the forms of knowledge production that brought all of this together over more than three centuries.
