Curriculum vitae
Christoph Sander studied philosophy and German linguistics at the
University of Freiburg and Humboldt University Berlin. In 2019, he
received his Ph.D. from the Technical University of Berlin with a thesis
on the conceptions of magnetism in the early modern period.
Since
October 2019, Christoph Sander is a postdoctoral researcher in the
research group Visualizing Science in Media Revolutions, led by Sietske
Fransen. In his project, he investigates the production, typology and
use of diagrams in early modern science. As a case study it shall be
focused on pre-modern (1300–1650) attempts to visualize magnetism
through diagrams, serving as a blueprint for other historical fields of
research.
His second field of research is the history of early
modern Jesuit philosophy, particularly the idea and practice of
censorship in Jesuit colleges. Furthermore, he has contributed to a digital humanities project
at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science (Berlin),
exploring the history of early modern editions of and commentaries on
Johannes de Sacrobosco's astronomical classic De sphaera mundi.
He has been a contributor to the New Sommervogel (Boston College) and has been appointed as Associate Editor for the series History of Early Modern Educational Thought (Brill). Since 2019, he is also contributing to the Leibniz-Edition
at the Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften. Between
2008 and 2017, he has assisted the Secretary General of the SIEPM.
