Maria Paula Diogo is full professor of History of Technology at the Faculty of Science and Technology of the New University of Lisbon (NOVA). She holds a PhD in history and philosophy of science from NOVA, where she specialized in the history of technology. She is head of the Department of Social Sciences and vice-coordinator of the research unit Centre for the History of Sciences and Technology (CIUHCT). She teaches undergraduate and graduate courses on the history of technology, and engineering, and on science, technology, and society, and she publishes on a regular basis both nationally and internationally. Maria Paula is currently looking at Portuguese engineers and engineering, mainly during the second half of the nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century; she is particularly interested in the role played by engineers in managing the territory of the Portuguese African Empire. She coordinates a national project on science, technology, and the empire and has participated in several other projects concerning the history of Portuguese science and technology. She is a founding member of STEP (Science and Technology in the European Periphery) and of INES (International Network on Engineering Studies) and a member of “Tensions of Europe: Technology and the Making of Twentieth Century Europe.” She served for three years as an officer on the SHOT (Society for the History of Technology) executive committee. By participating in the Anthropocene Campus, Maria Paula hopes to explore new conceptual and methodological frameworks that are useful to her research on the relationship between technology, engineers, and colonial territories, adopting new perspectives concerning environmental changes. She is also looking for new avenues to be explored by her research center in projects to come.
