Sebestian Kroupa on Global Histories of Science and Medicine in the Early Modern Philippines

Sebestian Kroupa speaks about his research on the Bohemian Jesuit pharmacist Georg Joseph Kamel, who was stationed in the colonial Spanish Philippines at the end of the 17th century and the beginning of the 18th, and about how Kamel’s life, work, and correspondence can illuminate the ways knowledge was produced in cross-cultural, cross-imperial, and cross-oceanic settings in the early modern world.
