“Inventing Modern Science”

Associate Professor of History Darin Hayton's course, which explores the revolution in the sciences that occurred between 1500–1750, seeks to understand how and why certain people began to investigate the natural world in new ways and how they convinced other people that their new ways were better.

Our Cool Classes blog series highlights interesting, unusual, and unique courses that enrich the Haverford College experience.
