Department of History and Philosophy of Science

 

The Atmospheric Humanities Reading Group meets once a fortnight, on Tuesdays at 3.00–4.30pm, online except for the fourth meeting.

We explore aspects of the air, climate, and atmosphere in a variety of disciplinary contexts. Scholars working in HPS, history, philosophy, English, geography, and atmospheric and allied sciences are very welcome to join us to discuss a set of pre-circulated readings. To be added to the mailing list to receive readings and Teams links, please contact Thomas Banbury (tjb98@cam.ac.uk).
