ARAH PhD Student Brenna McWhorter will present "Star Power: Astral Magic at the Gonzaga Court" as part of the Italian Society for the History of Science Meets Early Careers Seminar Series. This talk is based on Brenna’s article that was published in the September 2025 issue of Isis, the History of Science Society's quarterly journal.
The series is conceived as an informal place for early career scholars to discuss their research, present, future and past. Each session focuses on broad themes in the history of science and knowledge, bringing together diverse approaches, methodologies and chronologies. The series is open to international scholars and broad collaboration between disciplinary fields.
