John Lynch’s Summary

My academic training is as a zoologist (B.Sc. 1989 and Ph.D. 1993, University College Dublin), and after graduation I moved to Tempe (Arizona, USA) as a post-doctoral researcher in evolutionary biology - specifically looking at hybridization among endangered desert fishes of the genus Gila - at Arizona State University's Department of Zoology. After the end of my funding in 1996, I became a faculty associate with the Interdisciplinary Humanities Program, teaching courses dealing with the interactions between the humanities and sciences. At this time, I also began teaching in the history and philosophy of biology for two ASU departments (Philosophy and Biology). In 2000, I became a lecturer at the Barrett Honors College and have been teaching courses in intellectual history. I'm also affiliated with the Center for Biology and Society and the History & Philosophy of Science Program. Details of my research and teaching can be found at my ASU website.
