PhD Candidate, Neuroscience, Western University
Michaela Kent is a PhD candidate in the Neuroscience Graduate Program at Western University in London, Ontario, Canada. She is based at the Western Institute for Neuroscience and is co-supervised by Dr. Emma Duerden and Dr. Jody Culham.
Her interest in the developing brain has been a driving factor behind previous work. During an undergraduate degree at Glasgow Caledonian University, Michaela wrote a dissertation focussing on the neurodevelopment of children raised in orphanages. She then completed a Master’s degree in Brain Science at the University of Glasgow, working primarily on a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study exploring aspects of social cognition. Whilst in Glasgow, Michaela worked with Dr. Ruud Hortensius and as part of the Social Brain in Action Lab on the ERC-funded Social Robots research project. Building on her neuroimaging background, Michaela is now working to use functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to study the developing brain in naturalistic settings. Specifically, she uses fNIRS and behavioural measures to study how socio-cognitive skills develop and how brain responses to social interactions might be influenced by the environment.
Outside of her research, Michaela serves on the Executive Committee for the Society of Neuroscience Graduate Students and as a graduate teaching assistant at Western University.

Assistant Professor of Health Policy and Management, UMass Amherst
As a quantitative health services researcher and a health economist, I study the factors that influence patients’ exposure to the cost of their care and how that impacts their financial outcomes, use of care, and health. The main goal of my research is to improve the affordability of care and health equity. My areas of interest include health insurance benefit design, health care price transparency initiatives, medical billing practices, and health care cost uncertainty. My recent work examines the inequities in the administrative burdens due to medical billing errors, the financial risk that patients bear due to the unpredictability of the service composition of planned health care episodes, and the affordability challenges stemming from the temporal concentration of medical out-of-pocket costs. Most of my research relies on data from large health care claims databases and patient surveys.

Research Fellow in Early Modern History, University of Oxford
I am an early modern historian with research interests in the history of science, religion, and scholarship in Europe. I am currently a Fellow by Examination (Prize Fellow) at Magdalen College.
Research Interests
I am currently working on three projects. The first examines the history of the idea of the soul in early modern England, focusing particularly on the development of the heterodox view that humans did not possess immortal souls. The early modern debate over this issue was an interdisciplinary one: it involved religion, medicine, and natural philosophy, but also historical scholarship. Building on this work, I am also writing a ‘biography’ of William Warburton’s classic Divine Legation of Moses (1738-41), a book about the biblical Hebrews’ belief in immortality that despite being a highly technical work of scholarship became a public sensation in the mid-eighteenth century.
Another key interest is the history of astrology in the early modern world. I’m writing about the process by which astrology, once a vibrant aspect of cultural and intellectual life, came to be rejected as a superstition outside the bounds of science – a huge shift that remains a major puzzle in the history of science. My main interest is the contribution of late humanist scholarship to this shift and to ‘disenchantment’ more broadly. I'm also particularly interested in the evidence provided by student disputations in universities. In 2021, I organised (with Jan Machielsen and Robin Briggs) an interdisciplinary conference commemorating the 50th anniversary of Sir Keith Thomas’s Religion and the Decline of Magic (1971), which was supported by the Past & Present Society; recordings of the event can be found here. I’m also interested in the fact that the marginalization of astrology was a pan-European as well as a global phenomenon – in that it was also felt in European colonies around the world – and I am in the early stages of working on the marginalisation of astrology in New Spain.
I’m also interested in the history of epidemics. I have written about the role played by astrologers in early modern ‘public health’, and I recently curated an exhibition on the history of epidemics at Magdalen in the College’s Old Library, which ran from February to July 2023. The online version of the exhibition can be accessed here.
With the anthropologist David Zeitlyn, I am curating a major exhibition at the Bodleian Library on divination and astrology across the world and throughout history. More information here.
