About
Anouska Bhattacharyya is in her third 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. Furthermore, Anouska is an Intellectual/Cultural Fellow at Dudley House, the Social Coordinator for the Graduate Student Council, and a Teaching Fellow for CB-11 "Medicine and the Body in East Asia and Europe" at Harvard, and STS 003 "The Rise of Modern Science" at MIT.
