Workshop: Instrument histories: collections and knowledge in movement 5-8 December 2011 Over the past year, brought together by a common commitment to the material aspects of science, we have formed a research group – made up by scholars and graduate students from the UNAM, the UAM and CINVESTAV-IPN – that studies instruments from a socio-historical perspective. One of our principal objectives is to question the assumption that scientific instruments are objective, neutral, ubiquitous and innocuous.
