Teaching: Undergraduate and MA

I have taught on a range of first-, second- and third-year undergraduate modules and MA modules, and regularly supervise dissertations at both the undergraduate and MA levels. Although most of my teaching has been in the history and philosophy of science, I have strayed here and there into philosophy of mind, ethics and history of philosophy. I created the MA module “Advanced Topics in History and Philosophy of Biology,” and introduced the use of objects from the Leeds HSTM Museum (see below) into undergraduate teaching at Leeds. On post-module evaluations, students tend to mark me as a very good lecturer and tutor – averaging between 4 and 5 out of 5 for quality of the module and my delivery – and report finding my modules well organized, interesting and challenging. Here are some comments from a while back for a first-year survey module I taught, Science in the Modern World: “Dr Radick was/is an excellent speaker; he structures his lectures nicely and speaks at a perfect pace.” “V. enjoyable and informative. Lectures were excellent with enough info and good style.” “Greg should give help to other lecturers.” “Really enjoyed this course, it is

12 the only lecture I managed to give all my attention to!” “The best constructed and delivered lectures in my university experience.” “Greg Radick is a great lecturer, very good at delivery and structuring a lecture. Could not get much better.” “Excellent my favourite module this year, interesting, insightful and the lecturer was fantastic, hope he’s doing some level 2 courses.” “A very, very clear and professional undertaking by Dr Radick.” “Wouldn’t have got up at 9.00 on a Friday morning for any other lecture! I really enjoyed it.” “10 out of 10.” “I came to the lectures by choice. I’m not receiving academic credits for it. Quite possibly the most enjoyable and interesting, stimulating lectures I have ever had.” “The lecturer was probably the best I have seen so far (honest!!!). Very clear, interesting and assertive. You get the feeling he has prepared and knows what he’s on about.” “A breath of fresh air in an otherwise dull life.” “G. Radick is an excellent, lucid and endearing lecturer.”

Teaching: Museum of the History of Science, Technology and Medicine

I led the staff-student taskforce that established the University of Leeds Museum of the History of Science, Technology and Medicine in 2007, when I was Director of the Leeds Centre for History and Philosophy of Science (in the terminology of the time, “Chair” of the “Division of” HPS). This multisite Museum unites what were dispersed – and sometimes endangered – departmental and University collections of historic objects from scientific and medical teaching and research in and around Leeds. I described the vision and early efforts behind the Museum in “Integrating Scientific Instruments into History of Science Teaching and Research at the University of Leeds,” Viewpoint: Newsletter of the British Society for the History of Science 90 (2009): 6. Museum objects are now a mainstay in undergraduate HPS teaching at Leeds. In 2016‒7 I rallied colleagues and postgraduate students to join forces for a major 20 lecture public lecture series, “History and Philosophy of Science in 20 Objects,” using objects from the Leeds HSTM Collections. The lectures were very well attended, videos from them are online, and a companion volume is now in preparation.

Teaching: PhD Examining

I regularly serve as an internal examiner at Leeds, and have served as an external examiner at Cambridge (two times), Oxford, UCL, Edinburgh, Durham, York, Manchester, Exeter, and Brighton. I occasionally examine MA dissertations from other universities, in the UK and abroad.
