Professor Paula Findlen of Stanford University is the Gender & History Visiting Scholar for the 2020-21 year.
On Wednesday, February 10, please join us from 12:15-1:30 PM EST for an informal lunchtime seminar of Professor Findlen's essay, "Aristotle in the Pharmacy: The Ambitions of Camilla Erculiani in Sixteenth-Century Padua." This essay explores why a woman apothecary in late sixteenth-century Padua published a rather unorthodox and interesting work of natural philosophy and was investigated by the Paduan Inquisition. Participants are asked to read a pre-circulated paper; email cornelia.dayton@uconn.edu to ask for a copy. To access the event, use this link:
