Event description:
Join us for an exciting conversation over lunch with Dr Eun-Joo Ahn (Postdoctoral Associate, Race, Indigeneity and Transnational Migration; and Lecturer, Physics) about her work on how astronomers of Mount Wilson Observatory in Southern California interacted with their natural and socio-economic environment during the early twentieth century.
Ahn received her Ph.D. in astronomy and astrophysics from the University of Chicago in 2006 with the thesis “Early stages of ultra high energy cosmic ray air showers as a diagnostic of exotic primaries” and a second Ph.D. in History from the University of California Santa Barbara in 2023 with the thesis “Factory Observatory at Mount Wilson: Astronomy, Regional Development, and Place, 1900-1930.”
