Zachary Dorner has authored two pieces in the most recent issue of History of Science (Vol. 61 No. 4), a special issue of the journal devoted to defining science as work and connecting the histories of science and labor.

The second, a co-authored syllabus, proposes one way to teach the history of invisible labor in science, either intentionally or unintentionally hidden from the historical record.
