MEETINGS FOR 2001-02

Science in Human Culture Reading Group

The program on Science in Human Culture sponsors an interdisciplinary faculty reading group that meets several times a year to discuss current or recent scholarship in the history and philosophy of science and related fields. Current members of the group come from such disparate fields as biology, philosophy, history, art history, anthropology, film studies, sociology, and english literature. The goal of the group is to foster cross-disciplinary dialogue and exchange among Northwestern faculty who share research interests in the history and philosophy of science. The group meets once to decide on the books to be read for the academic year, and then once a quarter after that in a congenial, informal setting to discuss the chosen texts.

During the academic year 2001-2002, we will be reading the following two books:

Winter Quarter
Lorraine Daston and Katharine Park, Wonders and the Order of Nature

Spring Quarter
Adele Clarke, Disciplining Reproduction: Modernity, American Life Science and 'the Problem of Sex'
