Office Hour – Darin Hayton

Associate Professor of History Darin Hayton teaches an introduction to the history of Western science, as well as courses on the scientific revolution, plagues and epidemics, and the history of museums.

Read Office Hour in the Winter 2018 issue of Haverford Magazine.

Hayton's office displays some of the “weird stuff” he collects, including a phrenology head, an engraved 19th-century invitation to a hanging, and the rotary phone he brought with him when he arrived on campus in 2005. Photo: Patrick Montero
