Over the past fifty years the history of natural history has functioned as a vital field within the history and philosophy of science. The purpose of this reading group is to revisit a number of monographs that, in one way or another, provide helpful methods or questions. The format will be informal. Feel free to bring your lunch. The group is open to anyone, however, we need to know the numbers in advance to ensure the venue is appropriate.
