When Naomi Oreskes was working on her Ph.D. in geology at Stanford, she stumbled across a class called “Growth of Scientific Knowledge.” Determined to be a broad-minded scientist and take advantage of all that Stanford had to offer, she enrolled. A young assistant professor named Peter Galison—now Pellegrino University Professor in History of Science and Physics at Harvard—taught the course. “He was teaching in the philosophy department, but what he was teaching was really history,” says Oreskes. “And that was my eureka moment where I thought, ‘Oh, this is my field.’”
The Center for the Environment brings together one of the largest and most varied faculty communities on campus. HUCE Faculty Associates participate in events, workshops, grant programs, and meet twice-monthly to discuss their research and environmental issues more broadly.
The directory below contains profiles of the more than 250 faculty affiliated with the Center. The directory is searchable by research area, School, and keyword.
