The IHC crowns a long trajectory of research and teaching in the History of Science in the UAB: from the creation, in 1983, of the Seminari d'Història de les Ciències, its transformation into the Centre d'Història de la Ciència (CEHIC) in 1995, to its current conversion into a research institute in its own right. The IHC main task focuses on teaching at several University levels (Degree, Master Degree and Phd) and on the History of Science in the 19th and 20th centuries, from diverse perspectives: the relations between science, politics and power; the role of science audiences as active agents in the construction of knowledge; the material, spatial and urban dimensions of science; the history of medicalisation processes and of human science; and the relations between science, health and gender. The IHC also focuses on the relations of the history of science with disciplines such as philosophy, anthropology, sociology and science and technology studies (STS).
