RESEARCH INTERESTS: James Delbourgo is a historian of early modern science and the Atlantic world. He previously taught at McGill University, Montreal, where he directed the program in History and Philosophy of Science. His interests range from physical science and experiment to natural history and travel, and the intersections between them in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, including topics such as history of the body; experimental apparatus; collecting, ethnography, and race; and the movement of objects, specimens and techniques through imperial and global networks. He has co-organized international conferences on the history of science and colonial history at UCLA, USC, McGill, Rutgers, Cambridge and the British Library. In 2010 these included “Collecting Things, Collecting People” at Rutgers; a conference on Hans Sloane at the British Library; and “In Kind: Species of Exchange in Early Modern Science and Philosophy” at CRASSH, University of Cambridge.
