Research Interests: Professor
Brush's long-term project is a comparative study of theory-evaluation
in different sciences, by detailed study of several cases from the
history of modern science. Previously Professor Brush has looked at
several cases in physics, astronomy, and chemistry, to see whether
new theories have been accepted mostly because of successful predictions
or for other reasons. Professor Brush's current research deals with
episodes in 20th century genetics, psychology, and social science.
