Paolo Savoia

Trained as a philosopher and historian of science, I worked on the history of fin de siècle psychiatry and the human sciences, historiography of science, and the history of medicine in Renaissance and early modern Europe. My current research areas are: the social, cultural, and gender history of the sciences; history of medicine and the body; history of the relations between food and science; the relations between practical and theoretical knowledge in early modern Europe; the historiography of science and the environment; the political history of the ideas of nature.
