DESCRIPTION:In this talk I will focus on two transnational org
 anisations - the Congress for Cultural Freedom (CC
 F) and the United Nations Educational\, Scientific
  and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) - and the ways
  these overtly political organisations sought to p
 rovide the conceptual framework and institutional 
 niche(s) for history of science / science studies 
 in the age of Cold War. I will ask what legacy(ies
 ) did these undertakings leave and will attempt to
  suggest some answers to this question.\n\nSpeaker
