Person
Miranda Anderson is a literary scholar at the University of Edinburgh. She is the initiator of, and a Research Fellow on, the AHRC-funded project, A History of Distributed Cognition. She received a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship for work on this book and was a Research Associate on the Balzan Project, based at St John's College, Oxford University. Dr Anderson combines specialization in Renaissance literary, philosophical and scientific texts, with a broader interest in investigating paradigms of the mind and self across historical and disciplinary boundaries.
