The research project "On Land and Sea: Medical Geography in the Russian Empire, 1770-1870" aimed to study the history of circulation and production of medical-geographical knowledge and the history of health care in the Russian Empire in transnational and local perspectives. The project participants focused their research on 1) the infrastructure of medical activity; 2) medical and geographic ideas and forms of their presentation; and 3) the participation of medicine in the ordering, stabilization, and conceptualization of the empire and the space beyond its frontiers.
The project was conducted over three years (2019-2021). It was supported by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the Russian Scientific Foundation (RSF) and led by Professors Elena Vishlenkova (NRU HSE, Moscow) and Andreas Renner (Ludwig Maximilian University Munich).
