The Centre for the Book is pleased to welcome Prof. John Christie, a historian of medicine in Dunedin to work with the Monro Collection.  Prof. Christie will speak on “Gender and Representation in Eighteenth-Century Science,” looking at, among other topics, Lavoisier’s Elements of Chemistry (1789; tr English 1790).  However, as you can tell from the title, his discussion will range widely and not require a deep knowledge of the history of Chemistry.

We hope you can join us for what promises to be a proper exemplification of Enlightenment.  The lecture will take place on Tuesday, 10 March at 5:30 pm. on the second floor of Mellor Laboratories, seminar room 2.15  All welcome.
