BOX 177-189 Subject File, 1932-2003
Material principally relating to Wilson’s entomological research and curatorship of the Harvard University Museum of Comparative Zoology’s entomology collection, his defense of sociobiology, and his teaching career at Harvard University. Wilson’s research on ants is documented through field notes and other notebooks, lists of entomological terms invented by him and genera and species named for him, and a large file of National Science Foundation grant applications. Comprising a significant portion of the series is a file created by Wilson’s staff that documents controversies surrounding Wilson’s writings on sociobiology through correspondence, memoranda, articles, editorials, letters to editors, reviews, conference and discussion papers, interviews, course material, notes, flyers, posters, and news clippings. Most of this material dates from the mid-1970s to the early 1980s. The file focuses on opposition to sociobiology by critics inside and outside academia as well as its defense by Wilson and other leading proponents. The remainder of the series consists of teaching and academic files. Included are academic appointments, committee files, historical materials on the Biology Department and Museum of Comparative Zoology, and course materials consisting of syllabi, reading lists, lecture notes, and examinations. Additional material concerning Wilson’s academic career at Harvard can be found in the General Correspondence series.
