Prof. Dr. Andrea Breard
Field of Research: History of Science In Germany: 01.02.2021 - Host's project description Andrea Bréard’s main focus is the history of Chinese mathematics from the late imperial period into the 20th century. In this context, she looks well beyond the history of mathematics in China, combining economic history with political and social history to gain insights into the development of intellectual history in China in its entirety. Her research on the history of statistical methods in the administrative and political contexts is one concrete example. Here, Bréard has been able to show how a modern state and the field of statistics were created concurrently. In her research she also demonstrates how China’s scientific culture has been shaped by its own values which derive from the country’s cultural history – and which at first glance do not always concur with the standards of western science. Studies of this kind have earned her recognition not just in mathematics but also in Sinology and the history of science. As a Humboldt Professor at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), Bréard is set to become the new director of the International Consortium for Research in the Humanities. With her background as a mathematician, science historian, Sinologist and philosopher, Andrea Bréard will introduce new, interdisciplinary perspectives on the history of science and reinforce research into prognostication.

Her foundational work on German queer history has helped forge a space for the history of gender and sexuality in contemporary European studies.

While in Germany, Professor Evans will place cross-dressing in the context of the history of Germany in the years since 1945 and she will work on photography and the sexual revolution.

His work has had an enormous impact both within the field of history itself and in many neighbouring disciplines. He is particularly known for his invention of a micro-historical approach. His philologically informed studies tend to focus on the Middle Ages and the early modern period, but his work covers all eras from antiquity to modernity. Inspired by the Aristotelian motto "art imitates nature", his research at the ZfL will trace analogies in medieval thought between (biological) reproduction and the replication of objects.
