He writes and teaches the history of the human sciences and scientific medicine in the modern United States. His current book project is a history of American attempts to locate the cultural authority of the scientific method in the functional anatomy of the human brain, and this lecture will explore how today’s commonplace assumptions about cognition and discovery — how we think we think — were part of the emergence of scientific psychology in the nineteenth century.
