In form, The Optic Glass of Humors takes inspiration from the Political Compass, a genre-defining tool in the study and teaching of politics.

For such a simple thing, The Optic Glass of Humors owes its existence to a wide range of institutions. The tool was developed during a Landhaus Fellowship at the Rachel Carson Center, by a PhD student member of the Bodies, Selves, and Material Culture Collective at the University of Manchester, who had the idea at a conference organised by the MedEnv Network, in medical and environmental humanities.
