New publication: History of knowledge in Finnish

Together with my colleagues, we have for several years worked on this anthology on the history of knowledge and it is now finished and published. Tiedonhistoria (Vastapaino 2023) introduces the field of the history of knowledge to the Finnish audiences. The volume contemplates what it means to study knowledge historically, how the history of knowledge expands our perspectives about past ways of knowing and what type of possibilities and challenges relate to this type of research. The book includes a comprehensive introduction and eleven chapters that elaborate on these questions.

In addition to the introduction, I contributed to the volume a chapter that emphasizes how historians of knowledge should in their work carefully contemplate the approaches and concepts developed by historians of colonialism and colonial knowledge.
