Rebekah Higgitt

Genre

Rebekah Higgit is a historian of science who has published widely on British science from the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries. She is interested in the representation of science in images, museums and literature; in the relationships between science, institutions and wider society; and in the makers, users and ‘lives’ of scientific instruments.

After undertaking a PhD at Imperial College London, on nineteenth-century biographies and biographers of Isaac Newton, Rebekah was an ESRC-funded postdoctoral research associate at the University of Edinburgh’s Institute of Geography. There she researched the histories and geographies of the peripatetic British Association for the Advancement of Science 1831-1931.
