Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Osiris explores the historical dimensions of animal mobilities across diverse geographical and cultural contexts. It examines how the movement of animals, whether for trade, captivity, or scientific study, has shaped human knowledge, societal structures, and perceptions of the natural world. The journal also investigates the history of disability, focusing on how concepts of impairment, illness, and difference have been understood, enumerated, and utilized within scientific, medical, and social frameworks, particularly in relation to race, empire, and industrialization.
