The Working Group on the Science Beyond the West discusses theoretical and empirical scholarship, both works-in-progress and published, on:

  • Non-Western scientific traditions;
  • Interactions between entrenched and mobile elements of knowledge;
  • Western sciences in non-Western contexts.

Meetings are usually held at the Consortium office in Philadelphia from 3:30 to 5:00 on second Fridays. Scholars located anywhere can also participate online.
