Ordered Universe Project shortlisted for THE Research Project of the Year Award

NEWS |

Dr Hannah Smithson, Fellow in Psychology, is Co-Investigator for the Ordered Universe Project which has been shortlisted for the 2014 Times Higher Education Award for Research Project of the Year.

The Ordered Universe Project engages in original examinations of medieval science using interdisciplinary readings of the scientific works of the remarkable English thinker Robert Grosseteste (c.1170-1253), and presents the findings to diverse audiences. Bringing together an international configuration of natural scientists, social scientists and arts and humanities scholars, the project integrates the conceptual tools of modern science with the textual methods of the humanities to explore the richness of Grosseteste’s thought. 

Funding for the project has been provided by Durham University’s Institute of Medieval and Early Modern Studies, the Arts and Humanities Research Council, UK, and the Mahfouz Foundation for Interdisciplinary Research, Pembroke College, Oxford. 

NB The Ordered Universe Project team will give a public lecture at Pembroke on Friday 3rd October: click here for more information and to book online.
