Postgraduate Masterclass in the History of Emotions, Courtship and Marriage, c. 1650-2000
12 September 2015 | Event Details
Part of our recent international symposium was a Postgraduate Masterclass on the history of emotions, courtship and marriage, which attracted Masters and PhD students also currently working in this field. The opportunity to discuss their research with a panel of historical experts was greatly appreciated by all attendees, as was the opportunity to probe the minds of our panel. This session offered the chance to engage with related themes, concepts, discourses and sources, in order to better understand how the historian might skilfully navigate narratives of love, romance, courtship, and sexuality.
The panel was made of the following international academics:
- Katie Barclay, Research Fellow in the ARC Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions, University of Adelaide
- Helene Carlbäck, Associate Professor in History, Södertörn University
- Julie Hardwick, Professor of History, University of Texas
