About
Anouska Bhattacharyya is in her fourth year of the Harvard History of Science PhD program. She completed her BA in Natural Sciences at Cambridge University, followed by an M.Phil. in History and Philosophy of Science at the same institution. Having explored competing smallpox practices in India, the gendered politics of administering analgesics in twentieth-century obstetrics, and even the application of 'neurolaw', Anouska has turned her attention towards cross-cultural categories of madness under the British Empire. She is working with Professors Anne Harrington and Jeremy Greene from the History of Science department, as well as Professor Sugata Bose from the History Department. Anouska has taught at MIT, Harvard and, most recently, Northeastern University.
