RESEARCH TEAM
Through its history, HISTEX complies with gender parity policies, maintains a proportion between senior and junior researchers, and presents an extraordinary multidisciplinary confluence of interests. At the present, along with philosophers and historians, HISTEX includes historians of art, curators, visual artists, documentary producers, and medical practitioners. Since the composition of HISTEX is one of our strengths, it might be worth giving here a short description of its members.
