2027 Jakobiec Public Lecture: Anthony Grafton, "The meanings of a fish tale: conjectural histories of nature in early  modern England”

The Frederick A. Jakobiec Lecture is delivered annually by an eminent scholar on a topic related to Science and Ethics and/or Morality and Humanitarianism.  The generosity of Dr. Jakobiec, a History of Science concentrator, has made this lecture series possible, and has also funded additional activities for department faculty, undergraduate students, and advanced degree candidates. The first public lecture was delivered in April 2022 by Professor Lorraine Daston, followed by Professors Dorothy Roberts, Matthew Jones, and Alondra Nelson.
