It was another busy year for the Department of History and Philosophy of Science and many of the main activities were to do with people and staffing, highlighting the fact that it is the people who make the Department a success. Liba Taub was successful in her application for promotion to Professor and Tim Lewens was successful in his application for promotion to Reader, and we would like to congratulate them both on their new positions which commence in October 2010. During the course of the year Hasok Chang was appointed as the Department’s Rausing Professor, taking up the post previously held by Peter Lipton. Hasok joined the Department in September 2010 and we would like to extend our warm welcomes to him. Nick Jardine retired on 30th September 2010. To celebrate his work and contributions to the history of science the Department held a day of talks entitled, ‘The Seven Ages of Nick Jardine’, which took place on 30th June 2010. This was a wonderful event held at Peterhouse College (thanks to Sacha Golob for facilitating this), with informative and entertaining contributions from Nick’s students and colleagues. The event was such a success that several participants suggested making Nick’s retirement an annual event! This might be possible due to the launch of the much-planned Scientific Heritage project in October 2010, on which Nick will be engaged as consultant for two years from January 2011. This means we can have another party at the end of 2012! For the past couple of years the Department has had an unprecedented number of Teaching Associates, including Kevin Brosnan, Alex Broadbent, Sorin Bangu, Richard Barnett and Nicky Reeves. Their time with us in these positions comes to an end in the summer of 2010 and they are each moving on to new things. We want to thank them for the contributions they have made to the Department and wish them well in their new ventures. It was another successful year for research grants. Nick Hopwood, in collaboration with colleagues in the departments of History, Geography and Classics, won a Wellcome Strategic Award which began in October 2009 and will run for five years. Francis Neary and Jacqueline Cahif joined the Department to work on this project entitled ‘Generation to Reproduction’. Lauren Kassell was successful in obtaining Wellcome Trust funding for her Casebooks project. This started in April 2010 and Mike Hawkins, Rob Ralley and John Young joined the Department to work on the project. Simon Schaffer, in collaboration with colleagues at the National Maritime Museum, launched his Longitude project which started in May 2010 and will run for five years. Alexi Baker and Nicky Reeves joined the project. Jenny Rampling was successful in her application to the Wellcome Trust and began a three-year research fellowship in January 2010. The Whipple Museum was out of commission for a large part of the year while its cases were refurbished. Liba Taub was successful in obtaining funding from the DCMS and the CSHSS for this purpose, and for the modest sum of £85,000 she has given the main gallery a much-needed facelift. During the course of the year the Museum said goodbye to Josh Nall and Ruth Horry, who started PhDs in October 2009; Sarah Robertson, who took up post as Curator of the Stained Glass museum in Ely; and Karina Rivadeniera, 2 who left to spend more time with her children. Steve Kruse and Claire Wallace took up new posts as Museum Technicians and Alison Smith joined the team as Attendant. The Department had a General Board Learning and Teaching review in April 2010. Preparation for the review involved gathering together all of the Department’s teaching and examining materials for the period covering 2003–2010 and providing a strategic overview, putting them in context for the Review Committee. The review went extremely well and we must extend our most sincere and grateful thanks to everyone who took part. The Review Committee were impressed by the Department and the recommendations they made were really very minor. 2009–10 was the first year for the Department’s new Part III course in History and Philosophy of Science. Eight brave students took the course, which ran in parallel to the MPhil. Three of the eight students have since gone on to study for a PhD, which was one of the aims of the course, and the numbers applying have increased significantly, putting pressure on the Department to increase admissions in the future. During the course of the year members of the Department hosted a number of very successful conferences and workshops: Alex Broadbent hosted two PhG sponsored Epidemiology workshops; Katie Taylor and others ran this year’s BSHS postgraduate conference from the Department; and Jenny Rampling ran a History of Chemistry Workshop. As usual we would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has contributed to the life of the Department. We recognise that it is your goodwill and hard work that has enabled us to achieve our current level of excellence!

  • The Opening of the Atlantic World: England's
    THE OPENING OF THE ATLANTIC WORLD: ENGLAND’S TRANSATLANTIC INTERESTS DURING THE REIGN OF HENRY VIII By LYDIA TOWNS DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Texas at Arlington May, 2019 Arlington, Texas Supervising Committee: Imre Demhardt, Supervising Professor John Garrigus Kathryne Beebe Alan Gallay ABSTRACT THE OPENING OF THE ATLANTIC WORLD: ENGLAND’S TRANSATLANTIC INTERESTS DURING THE REIGN OF HENRY VIII Lydia Towns, Ph.D. The University of Texas at Arlington, 2019 Supervising Professor: Imre Demhardt This dissertation explores the birth of the English Atlantic by looking at English activities and discussions of the Atlantic world from roughly 1481-1560. Rather than being disinterested in exploration during the reign of Henry VIII, this dissertation proves that the English were aware of what was happening in the Atlantic world through the transnational flow of information, imagined the potentials of the New World for both trade and colonization, and actively participated in the opening of transatlantic trade through transnational networks. To do this, the entirety of the Atlantic, all four continents, are considered and the English activity there analyzed. This dissertation uses a variety of methods, examining cartographic and literary interpretations and representations of the New World, familial ties, merchant networks, voyages of exploration and political and diplomatic material to explore my subject across the social strata of England, giving equal weight to common merchants’ and scholars’ perceptions of the Atlantic as I do to Henry VIII’s court. Through these varied methods, this dissertation proves that the creation of the British Atlantic was not state sponsored, like the Spanish Atlantic, but a transnational space inhabited and expanded by merchants, adventurers and the scholars who created imagined spaces for the English.

A knowledge of the conditions of his task should make the historian of Jesus take a modest view of its importance ; for, though the tree sprung from Alcock"s acorn has now grown to some size and not a little vigour, for the best part of its existence it was overshadowed by taller neighbours in the academic grove. In fact, except in some short periods of unwonted prosperity, Jesus was, until recent ' 1 times, emphatically a small college, low in revenues, and in numbers competing with Peterhouse and Magda- lene rather than with Caius or Christ's.

In territorial terms it was a time of loss. The diocese of Ripon was founded in 1836 taking with it some of the most heavily populated new industrial regions of West Yorkshire, Bradford, Halifax and Leeds. By 1836 the archbishop had also lost his peculiar jurisdiction over Hexhamshire and in 1837 the archdeaconry of Nottingham was transferred to the diocese of Lincoln. Even though a time of territorial loss for the diocese, it was a period of increased church building. When changing expectations of the parochial role of the clergy, the demand for clerical residence and the provision of a living wage for stipendary curates and increased parochial demands for preaching and the sacraments within a broadening definition of parochial work are added to this the period is seen to be one of repeated adaptation and change. ORDINATION- THE SOURCES From the middle of the eighteenth century onwards the information recorded in the York Institution Act Books can be validated and expanded by reference to the bundles of papers submitted by the candidates themselves prior to their taking orders.

  • Thou Art That and Other Essays
    THOU ART THAT AND OTHER ESSAYS Reflections of an Algorithmic Scientist on an Era Between Gods John Lawrence Nazareth November-2020 1 Copyright © 2020 John Lawrence Nazareth 2 For Abbey 3 Preface This book lies at the intersection of religion, science, and philosophy. Here I have sought to build a bridge between the “perennial philosophy” of the past, which has inspired and provides the foundation for the world’s major religions, and the “natural philosophy of organism” of four great philosopher-scientists of the 19th and early 20th centuries---Gustav Theodor Fechner, William James, Henri Bergson, and Alfred North Whitehead---who were widely-celebrated during their lifetimes, but today have fallen into relative obscurity. Their profound philosophical insights could greatly facilitate our scientific understanding of the natural world, and, in particular, the scientific effort currently under way to unravel the mystery of consciousness. They can also help to address the deep spiritual malaise of our present day, which the novelist John Updike has aptly characterized as an “Era Between Gods.” Readers may not join me in my far-reaching conclusions. However, at the very least, they will find this book to be a survey of a fascinating and wide- ranging literature, covering philosophical, spiritual and scientific works, and ranging from ancient to modern. In particular, I provide a unified, harmonized, and intentionally-poetic introduction to the writings of the aforementioned four great natural philosopher-scientists. My book’s title, “Thou Art That,” derives from the central insight of the ancient treatises of Hinduism known as the Upanishads, as expressed originally in Sanskrit: “Tat Tvam Asi.” These three words echo and re-echo throughout this book and they encapsulate the aforementioned “perennial philosophy,” as will be explained, in detail, at the outset of Chapter 1.
