The Balzan-Skinner Lecture in Modern Intellectual History since c.1500

I don’t think the work would have been as good without the stimulation of an interdisciplinary group of scholars such as CRASSH provides. The chance to share it with CRASSH audiences has been a real boon.
Dr Joel Isaac (QMUL), Balzan-Skinner Fellow 2010-11


The Faculty of History has received funding for five years from the International Balzan Prize Foundation to establish an annual Lecture in modern intellectual history since c. 1500. The Balzan-Skinner scholar will hold a Visiting Fellowship at the University’s Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities (CRASSH) for one term during the academic year.
