The Pacific Circle was established in 1985 to support and promote research and exchanges in the history of science, medicine, and other practices of knowledge in the Asia-Pacific region, broadly construed. We take knowledge to encompass a cross-cultural diversity of beliefs about the workings of the universe and the command of a myriad of techniques applied to investigations and manipulations of worldly phenomena.
The Circle circulates its Newsletter every other Monday. The Newsletter includes bibliographies of recent articles, book chapters and books, calls for papers, research notes, and queries. Please email the editor, Professor Peter Hoffenberg at peterh@hawaii.edu if you would like to receive the Newsletter or if you would like to share your publications, research questions, etc.
