Centre for the study of Science, Technology, Ancient Medicine and Philosophy (STAMP)
This Centre brings together research by colleagues in the discipline of Classics and Ancient History at the University of Exeter in specialised areas including ancient medicine, ancient science, philosophy, technology, the environment, and on ancient technical writings from across the Classical world.
Research areas within the Centre include:
- The Body and Embodiment
- Gender and Sexuality
- The Formation of Ancient Medical Schools and Canons
- Aristotle and Metaphysics
- Reproduction and Fertility
- Ancient technology and technological thinking.
- Diagnosis and Recognition.
- Plague and Disease.
We share an intellectual concern in understanding how forms and systems of knowledge function within their cultural contexts, both in antiquity and in post-classical cultures up to the present day.
We organise conferences, seminars and a reading group.
