KNOWLEDGE IN CONTEXT: COLLOQUIUM BROCKLISS-JONES
September 22-23 2017
University of Oxford
In 1997, Laurence Brockliss (Magdalen College, Oxford) and Colin Jones (QMUL) published The Medical World of Early Modern France, a landmark in the history of medicine because of its integration of social and institutional history with
intellectual history. It established a vibrant new approach to the history of medicine and knowledge of the early modern period while also encouraging Anglo-French intellectual exchange. As 2017 is the twentieth anniversary of this work’s publication and
the year of Laurence Brockliss’s retirement, colleagues and former pupils have organized a colloquium in their honour. Scholars from a range of historical disciplines (classical scholarship/antiquarianism, philosophy, and the natural sciences) will discuss
the ways in which knowledge is contextualized in early modern Europe and Britain. Participants are also from a variety of national perspectives and locations, demonstrating the range of Brockliss and Jones’s impact in integrating intellectual history with
other sub disciplines of history.
Organizers: François Zanetti, Floris Verhaart, Erica Charters
Registration: £40 (£20 for students/ECR/unwaged), now open online. Please book
