Abstract
Historians of science have amply demonstrated that the natural sciences were shaped by the history of colonialism. In this short essay, I explore the field of botany. Drawing on the ‘pressed’ plant of the herbarium sheet, I explore the possibilities of decolonising botany. I am inspired by Chela Sandoval’s Methodology of the Oppressed to develop and lay out counter-colonial methodologies. I argue that we need to move to a different imagination of the sciences—interdisciplinary and adisciplinary sciences—if we are serious about reckoning with colonial histories in science.
科学史家已经充分证明，自然科学是由殖民主义历史塑造的。在这篇短文中，我探讨了植物学领域。利用植物标本馆的“压制”植物，我探索了非殖民化植物学的可能性。切拉·桑多瓦尔(Chela Sandoval)的《被压迫者方法论》(Methodology of the被压迫者)给了我启发，让我发展并阐述了反殖民方法论。我认为，如果我们认真对待科学中的殖民历史，我们需要转向一种不同的科学想象——跨学科和非学科科学。
期刊介绍：
Science, Technology and Society is an international journal devoted to the study of science and technology in social context. It focuses on the way in which advances in science and technology influence society and vice versa. It is a peer-reviewed journal that takes an interdisciplinary perspective, encouraging analyses whose approaches are drawn from a variety of disciplines such as history, sociology, philosophy, economics, political science and international relations, science policy involving innovation, foresight studies involving science and technology, technology management, environmental studies, energy studies and gender studies. The journal consciously endeavors to combine scholarly perspectives relevant to academic research and policy issues relating to development. Besides research articles the journal encourages research-based country reports, commentaries and book reviews.
