SUMMARY:Travel\, Science\, and the Question  of Observation: 1580-1800
DESCRIPTION:Travel\, Science\, and the Question of Observation: 1580-1800 \nIn the early modern period\, the emergence of travel as a means of information gathering on natural history\, demography\, government\, and religion was accompanied by the use of questionnaires to orient observation. This conference investigates the development of techniques of information gathering of this kind and the networks on which they relied. Papers address the integral role of travel in the process of scientific exchange as well as to the ways that information itself traveled in British\, French\, Spanish\, and Swedish contexts. \nThe conference is supported by generous funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation (http://www.mellon.org) and by the Heyman Center for the Humanities at Columbia University\, with the assistance of the Moore Institute for the Humanities and Social Studies\, National University of Ireland\, Galway.
