Geographies of science: histories, localities, practices, futures

Richard C. Powell

Department of Geography, Roxby Building, University of Liverpool, Liverpool L69 7ZT, UK, r.c.powell{at}liverpool.ac.uk

This paper examines the recent attempts to develop geographies of science both within, and beyond, the discipline of geography. Such efforts have been most successful in work by historical geographers and historians of geography. Investigating the `geographical turn' evident across science studies more widely, this paper considers a broad range of engagements with spatiality by historians, sociologists, anthropologists and posthumanist practice theorists. In doing so, the paper thus argues that different geographies of science are emerging. Indeed, bringing together variegated conceptions of the spatiality of scientific activity will allow for wider audiences for geographies of science, inspire further investigation of the geographical sciences, and provide resources for debates regarding disciplinary histories and futures.

Key Words: actor-network theory • geographies of science • history of science • hybrid geographies • indigenous knowledges • scientific practices • science studies.
