Show Notes

In this episode we talk with Teri Gee, professor of Physics at Brigham Young University. Her PhD dissertation, “Strategies of Defending Astrology: A Continuing Tradition”, addresses the arguments used for defending the practice of astrology from the classical to the late medieval periods in the Greek, Arabic and Latin contexts. In this very lively podcast we discuss her research and her current research on different perceptions of the cosmos throughout history.

Terri Gee’s dissertation is available at the: https://tspace.library.utoronto.ca/handle/1807/34009
