Today I welcome historian of science and technology Asif Siddiqi.
Asif Siddiqi is a professor of history at Fordham University in New York. He writes and teaches on both the history of technology and modern Russian history, as well as the intersection of the two. He has written many books and articles on the history of space exploration, including the Red Rockets’ Glare: Spaceflight and the Soviet Imagination, 1857-1957 (Cambridge University Press, 2010). More recently, his work has focused on global histories of infrastructure and technology focusing particularly on Africa and South Asia. He is currently working on a book under contract with MIT Press provisionally titled Departure Gates: Postcolonial Histories of Space on Earth. This year he is on leave at Princeton University’s Davis Center for Historical Studies.
