Teaching with Isis
This article considers the relationship between research and pedagogy in Isis from the perspective of undergraduate teaching. Isis does not think of itself primarily as an organ for supporting education in the history of science, yet contributions to Isis are found across undergraduate syllabi, classrooms, and curricula. This essay makes a start at documenting and exploring some of the ways in which Isis is already being used in undergraduate edu…
Eco-Prospecting in Early Modern Wetlands
What kinds of natural knowledge and natural value existed in early modern wetlands? This essay uses a naturalist’s survey of a now-vanished swamp outside the northern Italian city of Bologna to reconstruct both the ecological knowledge of the swamp’s peasant inhabitants and the processes of “eco-prospecting” by which their knowledge was gathered, recorded, and used. The naturalist, Luigi Ferdinando Marsili, systematically interrogated the wetland…

Minerva’s French Sisters
Minerva’s French Sisters pairs imaginative reconstruction with meticulous archival research in order to illuminate the lives of six women scientists of the Enlightenment. Practitioners of diverse STEM disciplines, from astronomy to mathematics to chemistry to anatomy, these women cannily navigated the homosocial worlds of Ancien régime science and found varying degrees of recognition and success ‘in the golden moment before the Revolution sent wo…
Showing and hiding
This essay interrogates the motives of eighteenth-century European naturalists to alternately show and hide their laboring-class fossil suppliers. Focusing on rare moments of heightened visibility, I ask why gentlemen naturalists occasionally, deliberately, and even performatively made visible the marginalized science workers on whom they crucially depended but more typically ignored or effaced. Comparing archival fragments from elite works of na…
After the Flood
The Theology of Climate Change
This article surveys a brief and forgotten episode in the history of climate science when a handful of European scholars at the turn of the eighteenth century formulated some of the first theories of global climate change. Appearing incidentally in several works of world history, these conjectural accounts of a dramatic downturn in the earth’s ancient climate following Noah’s Flood were intended to explain the physical and spiritual decline of hu…
Brian Connolly. Domestic Intimacies
In Domestic Intimacies: Incest and the Liberal Subject in Nineteenth-Century America, Brian Connolly has undertaken a valuable exploration and clarification of the concept of incest during that time period. For the twenty-first-century reader, the idea that most American religious denominations once regarded a man's marriage to his deceased wife's sister as a prohibited incestuous union seems bizarre, yet Connolly documents that a great deal of h…
Justifying Attitudes toward Animal Use
Animal use" is a contentious topic that refers to practices involving the utilization of non-human animals by human beings. These practices often evoke strong and emotional reactions from opposing parties, and individuals can hold incongruent views concerning different ways in which animals are used. Yet previous research in this area has tended to portray attitudes toward animal use as uni-dimensional (rather than distinguishing between differen…
