K. J. Donnelly

Kevin Donnelly is an associate professor of history at Alvernia University with a research interest in the history of science and nineteenth-century Europe. While primarily focused on the history of nineteenth-century statistics, explored in Adolphe Quetelet Social Physics, and the Average Men of Science (University of Pittsburgh Press, 2016), his work has also examined technology and science in popular culture, including book chapters on the movie-parody show Mystery Science Theater 3000 and the graphic novel Jimmy Corrigan, the Smartest Kid on Earth. Recent articles on nineteenth-century science and statistics have included “On the Boredom of Science: Positional Astronomy in the Nineteenth Century,” in The British Journal for the History of Science (2014), “The Other Average Man: Science Workers in Quetelet’s Belgium” in History of Science (2014) and “Redeeming Belgian Science: Periodic Phenomena and Global Physics in Brussels, 1825-1870” in History of Meteorology (2017).
