Dr. Margaret Jacob
Professor UCLA |
Her overriding intellectual concern has been with the
meaning and impact of the Newtonian synthesis on religion,
political ideology, industrial development and cultural
practices. She has worked extensively on Newton's
immediate followers, on freethinkers, freemasons, Dutch
and French Newtonians, and has recently published a book
with Larry Stewart on the impact of Newton's science
from the publication of the |
| Principia in 1687 to the
Great Exhibition in 1851. She also, along with Lynn
Hunt, has an active interest in British radicals and
romantics
of the 1790s. She has commented on issues in the so-called "science
wars" and has written on historical methods and
practices. Along with Spencer Weart she edits a series
aimed at making the history of science more accessible
and it is published by Harvard University Press. When
not researching she enjoys cooking. She also reviews
for The Los Angeles Times and actually enjoys book
reviews. She is also Principal Investigator for a NIMH
project
on chronic pain in children in collaboration with UCLA's
Pediatric Pain Clinic. She has worked on the cultural
resources at play in economic decision making and the
role of science in industrial development. In 2004
she was University Research Lecturer.
