One of the world\u2019s foremost centers for theoretical research and intellectual inquiry, IAS brings together over 200 scholars from around the world every year. Fellows are selected through a highly competitive process for their bold ideas, innovative methods, and deep research questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Research at IAS is conducted across four Schools \u2013 Historical Studies, Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Social Science \u2013 to push the boundaries of human knowledge. Past IAS members include 35 Nobel Laureates, and the site has hosted scholars ranging from Albert Einstein to Clifford Geertz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the fellowship, Strocchia will have the opportunity to pursue uninterrupted scholarly work, share her research, and receive feedback from other participants in an intellectually stimulating and generative environment. She will use the time to work on her next book project, tentatively titled Health for Sale: Marketing Medical Trust in Late Renaissance Italy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy book examines how trust in new pharmaceutical remedies was built in sixteenth and seventeenth-century Italy,\u201d said Strocchia. \u201cIt asks how Renaissance markets balanced concerns about safety and efficacy with the need for medical innovation, given the changing disease environments caused by early globalization. Many of the questions I explore \u2013 the award of patent privileges, the use of human subjects in drug trials, the development of trademarks and brand names \u2013 have important implications for understanding the long-term development of Western pharmaceutical markets.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Emory Professor of History Sharon Strocchia has been named a fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) in Princeton, NJ for the Fall 2022 term.
