Ludmilla Jordanova is Professor of Modern History at King's College, London. She worked previously at the Universities of Cambridge, East Anglia, York, Essex and Oxford. Decades ago she read Natural Sciences at Cambridge, falling in love with history and philosophy of science in her second and third years. Her doctorate was on the natural philosophy of Jean-Baptiste Lamarck. From the late 1970s onwards she has sought to integrate images and objects into her historical work, and in the 1980s took a master's degree in Art History and Theory while teaching History at the University of Essex. She has been a Trustee of the National Portrait Gallery, London since 2001. Her books include Sexual Visions (1989), Nature Displayed (1999), Defining Features (2000) and History in Practice (2000 and in a second revised edition 2006).
