Project description
Focusing on sleeping sickness research regarding the Congo (1899-1960), this project investigates the importance of cross-border scientific exchanges and interactions, including those between the Belgian metropole and her colony as well as those between the Belgium/Congo axis and other metropoles, colonies, and intergovernmental institutions, in the production of tropical medical knowledge.
