Nasser Zakariya is Assistant Professor of Rhetoric at the University of California—Berkeley. He received his PhD from Harvard’s Department of History of Science and has held appointments at Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, NYU, Yale Law, and Michigan State. A Final Story (University of Chicago Press) is his first book; it centers on the emergence of the so-called “scientific epic” as one among a set of possible genres for synthesizing branches of knowledge according to narrative and historical structure.
