DESCRIPTION:From the dissecting rooms of antebellum Virginia to the mathem
 atical institutes of Weimar Germany\, from the missionary hospitals of col
 onial Kashmir to the feminist print networks of 1970s Britain\, this confe
 rence asks how knowledge is made\, who it serves\, and whose bodies\, voic
 es\, and labours it renders invisible. Across six panels\, presenters exam
 ine the sciences\, technologies\, and medical practices that have shaped\,
  and been shaped by power. For example\, the anatomical theatre as a site 
 of racial and class exploitation\; the atomic bomb as a collective moral c
 risis obscured by the myth of individual genius\; the archive as a place w
 here disability\, queerness\, and enslaved labour are simultaneously docum
 ented and erased. Spanning four centuries and five continents\, the papers
  gathered here refuse to treat science\, medicine\, and technology as neut
 ral or universal. Instead\, they recover the negotiations\, resistances\, 
 and exclusions through which knowledge has always been produced\, from the
  mānuka tree asserting its own agency in colonial New Zealand\, to the nu
 rses whose care sustained the 1918 influenza response yet vanished from th
 e historical record\, to the images that did not merely illustrate scienti
 fic racism but constituted it. This is a conference about authority: who h
 olds it\, how it is legitimized\, and what is lost when we mistake the sto
 ries power tells about itself for history.
