Evidence and Explanation in the Arts and Sciences: Distinguished Lecture Series

Today’s university employs a wide range of image-making and image-interpreting practices: doctors, lawyers, scientists of all sorts, engineers, humanists, and social scientists all produce images and make arguments about them in different ways. This talk assesses the state of scholarship on links between art and science, arguing that it is possible to consider images in various fields without using tropes from the humanities or social sciences as explanatory tools—in other words, by letting the different disciplines speak in their own languages.
