Call for Resources: FHSAsia Pedagogical Resource for the History of Sci/Med/Tech in Asia
The Forum for the History of Science in Asia (FHSAsia) is
a special
interest group of the History of Science Society that it
devoted to
the history of science, medicine, and technology in Asia,
with all of
those categories broadly and inclusively defined.
I'm writing briefly because the FHSAsia is in the process
of compiling
pedagogical materials to be hosted on the "Teaching
Resources" section
of our website. It can be very difficult to identify and
access good
materials to teach the history of sci/med/tech as it
relates to Asia,
and this forthcoming FHSAsia resource is meant as a
service that will
help not just specialists in the field but also
colleagues who would
like to integrate more Asia-related pedagogical resources
into their
teaching of the history of sci/med/tech. With that in
mind, if you
have materials that you would like to share please email
them to
carlanappi@gmail.com.
I will be compiling and uploading them over the
next several months. Resources might include:
- syllabi
- suggestions for primary or secondary source readings
- sample assignments
- links to useful web resources
- and, *importantly*, translations of primary source
documents that
you don't mind sharing.
These materials will ultimately be posted here.
Please feel welcome to write with any questions or
suggestions.
With all best wishes, and with apologies for
cross-posting,
Carla Nappi (on behalf of the FHSAsia)
