This HPS research seminar is concerned with all aspects of the history of natural history and the field and environmental sciences. The regular programme of papers and discussions takes place over lunch on Mondays. In addition, the Cabinet organises a beginning-of-year fungus hunt and occasional expeditions to sites of historical and natural historical interest, and holds an end-of-year garden party.

Seminars are held on Mondays at 1pm in Seminar Room 2 in the Department of History and Philosophy of Science in Free School Lane.

Organised by Mika Hyman.

Seminars in the Department of History and Philosophy of Science are open to all members of the University (including academic staff, postdocs, postgraduate and undergraduate students, and affiliates). Unless otherwise specified, they are not open to members of the public.
