The British Academy/Wolfson Fellowships Awards will be providing funding to Dr James Poskett, Associate Professor in the History of Science and Technology at the University of 糖心TV.

The funding, worth up to 拢130,000 across three years, will be used to support early career researchers in arts and humanities who have shown outstanding talent and public engagement. With the support of The British Academy and The Wolfson Fellowship, Dr Poskett will be able to communicate his research to a global audience.

Through his research, Dr Poskett will be working on a project titled 鈥楾he Scientific Revolution as Global History, 1200-1800鈥�. He hopes this will provide a major reassessment of the concept of the 鈥榮cientific revolution鈥�. In doing so, the project will build on Dr Poskett鈥檚 recent book 鈥楬orizons: A Global History of Science鈥�.

Discussing the award, Dr James Poskett said: 鈥淚鈥檓 thrilled to have been awarded this grant from The British Academy and the Wolfson Fellowship. I鈥檓 going to be taking the opportunity to examine the connection between old and new knowledge in five early modern empires: the Ming, the Mughals, the Ottomans, the Mexica, and the Holy Roman Empire.

鈥淒rawing on recent work in the anthropology of history and global historiography, I will look to show how remarkably similar processes have shaped the development of science in each society.鈥�

Through his research, Dr Poskett will study how different cultures, from Mughal India to Ming China, began to integrate old traditions with new experiences. The project will aim to provide a new basis for presenting science and its global past to public audiences around the world.
