<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">A one-day study day organised by the Centre for History and Theory at Roehampton University and History Lab</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">This study day is directed towards postgraduate (Masters and doctoral) students who wish to look at current historical theory and the ways in which theory can be used in producing historical research. It is made up of a series of interactive workshops in which invited academics, and Roehampton staff, introduce theoretical ideas which have influenced their own historical work and explore the ways in which these ideas can be deployed in research and writing. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">The focus of the day will very much be on the practical value of theory and digital practice, and there will be ample opportunities for students to reflect on and discuss the role of theory in their own work. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Description</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Michael Freeden credits John Atkinson Hobson as ‘by far the most original and penetrating of the new liberal theorists at the turn of the century… with a much larger amount of influence than is generally realised’. (1) In spite of this he remains a somewhat marginalised figure in both the history of political thought and economic theory. This paper aims to posit Hobson within the intellectual discourse of the inter-war years in Britain.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">This paper contends, contrary to the common argument that Hobson underwent no theoretical innovation after the second edition of The Industrial System in 1910, that Hobson not only continued to revise his theories up until his death in 1940 but he was also an important figure on the political left and in the Labour Party during the inter-war years. This coincides with a shift, although not an altogether consistent one, in Hobson’s thought away from liberalism and towards social democracy. Both the Independent Labour Party and Oswald Mosley adopted Hobsonian ideas in the 1920s and 1930s and Hobson offered both ideological and pragmatic proposals for dealing with the economic malaise of the inter-war situation. Furthermore, Hobson played a role in the long-run development of the ‘Keynesian revolution’ and G.D.H. Cole even went so far as to argue that it should more properly be termed the Hobsonian revolution. (2) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">The argument pursued here is that despite the lack of a coherent Hobsonian School of thought, Hobson’s intellectual legacy can be seen in the work of Cole, R.H. Tawney, and H.N. Brailsford amongst others. The theoretical dialogue between Hobson and other political thinkers will be discussed, as well as the way in which his thought was transformed into practical policy, especially in the post-1945 period. Finally, this paper aims to outline the case for considering Hobson as a figure in the historical canon of modern liberalism and social democracy.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Victorian Body Parts - St Bartholomew’s Pathology Museum, Clerkenwell, Saturday 14th September 2013</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Keynote Speakers: Dr Katharina Boehm (Universitat Regensburg), Dr Kate Hill (Lincoln) and Dr Tiffany Watt-Smith (QMUL)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">“Mr Wegg, if you was brought here loose in a bag to be articulated, I’d name your smallest bones blindfold equally with your largest, as fast as I could pick ‘em out, and I’d sort ‘em all, and sort your wertebrae, in a manner that would equally surprise and charm you.” (Charles Dickens, Our Mutual Friend, 1865)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Why were the Victorians so interested in atomizing the body? What was causing nineteenth-century bodies to come apart at the seams? From articulated bones to beating hearts, from wooden legs to hair bracelets, from death masks to glass eyes, the Victorian body was chattering with its own discorporation.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">The results of this fragmentation are successors to the recent scholarly work on material culture in examining the atomisation of the body as a symptom of being surrounded by the commodities generated by the nineteenth century. From objects under glass domes to pieces of the body in glass cases (authentic specimens of which fill St Bartholomew’s Pathology Museum), commodification and dissection have much in common.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">This conference thus seeks to explore, develop and enrich perspectives on the numerous and varied ways in which the Victorians approached their anatomy, bringing together postgraduate, early career and established researchers to consider why body parts provided such an urgent and stimulating focus within the nineteenth-century cultural imagination.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Possible topics could include, but are by no means limited to:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">§ Mementos of the body and the culture of mourning</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">§ Disability and the “substitution” of the body part</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">§ Dress and the exaggeration of, or emphasis on, elements of the body</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">§ Darwin and bodily means of expression in science</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">§ The“queering” of the body part</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">§ Measuring the body: deviation from the standards of Western patriarchy</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">§ Preserving the body: collecting and museum cultures</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Normality in an uncertain world</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">6th ENQUIRE Postgraduate Conference, 10th and 11th September 2013</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Call for Abstracts</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">This conference aims to bring together post-graduates and researchers, with an interest in normality, to explore the development, current application and possible future of such research.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">We are pleased to confirm our keynote speakers:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Derek McGhee, Professor of Sociology, University of SouthamptonAngharad Becket, Associate Professor of Political Sociology, University of LeedsJulia O’Connell Davidson, Professor of Sociology, University of Nottingham </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">In a world of uncertainty, never has ‘the normal’ been so important. All societies operate normative patterns of behaviour that are enforced by sanctions. Such patterns are now interwoven and valorised at global, national, communal and personal levels so that ‘the normal’ has become a powerful entity. Ideas of biopower and self-governance are structured around the control of bodies and the creation of ‘normal’ ways of being. It can now be argued that tyrannies of perfection structure contemporary social life.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">While social research has often focused on explaining deviance and the abnormal, such explanations are dependent upon a perception of ‘the normal’ for their existence. ‘The normal’, therefore, becomes important across disciplines, resonating with researchers as a central concept in addressing the pressing sociological issues of our time.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">The idea of a ‘normal’ raises pertinent questions for future research. Who defines normality? What are the implications for deviance? Why do researchers construct and deconstruct the abnormal? Does normality serve as a mechanism of control? What function does normality play in different cultures/societies? Is normality inevitable?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Such questions apply across the discipline and call into question the normality of research itself. Indeed, are there such things as normal and abnormal methodologies? How important is the statistical norm? What structures the conception of ‘valid’ or ‘useful’ research?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">In order to create a conference that pushes the boundaries and stimulates further and continued debate, we welcome broad interpretations of the conference title. Example themes for papers include but are not limited to:</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">We are happy to confirm our key note speaker, Dr. Nadine Muller (LJMU).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Nadine Muller is a Lecturer in English Literature and Cultural History at Liverpool John Moores University. Before joining LJMU, she gained her Ph.D. in English Literature at the University of Hull in 2012. Nadine’s research covers Victorian and neo-Victorian literature and culture, contemporary women’s fiction, feminist theory and practice, and cultural histories of women and gender from the nineteenth century through to the present-day. She is currently working on two book projects: a monograph based on my doctoral research on The Feminist Politics of Neo-Victorian Fiction, 2000-2010 and a study entitled The Widow in British Literature and Culture, 1850-2000. Nadine is the co-editor of the six-volume anthology Women and Belief, 1852-1928 (Routledge, 2012) and of Postfeminism and Contemporary Hollywood Cinema (Palgrave, 2013). In November 2012, she launched The New Academic (www.nadinemuller.org.uk/blog/the-new-academic) a blog that seeks to collate advice and experiences about the increasingly demanding and complex challenges of academia for postgraduate and early-career researchers.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Nadine will be presenting her latest research:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">A Queer & Dangerous Presence: The Widow in British Literature & Culture, 1900-2000</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">The widow transgressed mid-Victorian gender and social norms, not least due to her ambiguous status as a woman who was more respectable than a spinster (because of her former status as wife), yet also sexually experienced, able to own her own property, unguarded by a male protector, and available for remarriage. In the subsequent century – which will be the focus of this paper – she came to hold a long-lasting and often equally complex and contradictory position in British culture. The figure of the widow played a key role in campaigns for women’s suffrage in the first two decades of the twentieth century, became a prime object of psychoanalytic and psychiatric inquiry in the medicalization of grief in the 1930s and 40s; was a central image in war propaganda and in debates surrounding the development and perceived failures of the welfare state, while at the turn of the new millennium, has come to function as a site of national and cultural memory. The widow’s sustained but changing role in British culture is reflected and further illuminated in her representations in British literature and (popular) culture during these periods. This paper aims to sketch out a literary and cultural history of the gendered significance and anxieties reflected in these various representations of the widow throughout the twentieth century by drawing on her appearances in fiction, film, feminist activism, and political discourse. What this history reveals, I suggest, is that the widow is often defined as a queer and dangerous figure, threatening to question and disrupt – from the margins – dominant discourses of gender and class at the same as reinforcing them.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">10-13 July 2013, King’s College London</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Deadline: 28 March 2013</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, rapid developments in science and technology have affected all aspects of contemporary Britain. This conference seeks to examine this change historically, from the macro to the micro dimensions.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">The conference will consider various perspectives, including those of defence, business, government and society. We are keen to explore the political, economic, military, social, legal and cultural effects of scientific and technological change, as well as the processes of innovation and development. We will consider these in an international as well as a domestic context – for example, have British companies, governments and state agencies predominantly followed external trends in science and technology? Or have they tended to pioneer novel solutions? To what extent can questions of science and technology inform our understanding of traditional themes in contemporary British history such as “relative decline” or the “two cultures”? How has defence spending on science and technology been part of Cold War and post-Cold War politics?</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Many UK institutions and ways of life have undergone radical changes due to scientific and technical advances. New industries have been created, old ones have disappeared; new perceptions of science have shaped popular culture; the digital revolution has changed how organisations operate and how individuals communicate. British life – from education, to leisure, to religion, to how we conduct politics – has had to contend with the increasing prominence of the scientific worldview and the technological society. New case studies and perspectives are invited in order to reconsider the diversity and complexity of these changes.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">We hope this conference will generate fresh discussion and a new appreciation of the significance of scientific and technical transformation as it has taken place in modern Britain. We wish to attract historians working in a wide range of fields.</span><br />

organisations and civic Corporations to visually express authority, hierarchy
and leadership. They were also vehicles through which celebration, grief and
respect could be conveyed. Their composition and delivery was central to the
urban experience of the provincial town and, as such they are a valuable source
through which the historian can interpret the power structures and
socio-cultural development of a particular community.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;">The urban
landscape was intrinsic to parade culture; utilising important civic landmarks
to denote specific meaning. This paper will examine processional culture in
Darlington; a town with an extensive linear heritage and Middlesbrough; which
had to forge a civic identity directly out of industrialisation. The evolution
of civic parades will be charted; as will their varied use, from the
celebration of national events, their role in municipal politics and even the
expression of sorrow following the death of a local elite. The intention is to
highlight the manner in which parades in this period were a fundamental aspect
of civic life; representing a significant factor in the evolution of urban
space, and its symbolic meaning to both the local authority and the general
public. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;">This topic will
be placed in context with the speaker’s wider research, emphasising the need for
a broader consideration and definition of civic ritual, in order to account for
its enduring popularity in the twentieth century; despite most historians
suggesting that civic ritual began to decline in both popularity and visibility
from the late 1870s.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;">While
postgraduate medical historians have often had the opportunity to converse with
each other through various forums, the wider field of medical humanities has
been neglected. This student-led conference seeks papers from a wide variety of
disciplines to show the divergent as well as similar themes running through the
work of postgraduate medical humanities students. Sue Crossley from the
Wellcome Trust will speak about funding opportunities for early-career
researchers in the medical humanities.</span></div>

historian, a curator and a creative practitioner, this two-day conference will
include workshops on methodological issues and give students the opportunity to
present their research findings in a supportive and dynamic environment.
We welcome papers from history, history of art, philosophy, anthropology,
literature, film, or indeed any form of research into the relationship between
medicine and wider culture.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 15.0pt; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;">This
conference seeks to examine the many intimacies of home – familial, social,
sexual – and the role of emotions, material objects, home spaces and household
structures in fostering, limiting and mediating intimacy. Papers will explore
intimacy in both the past and present, across a range of places and from a
range of disciplines. Themes will include notions of privacy for people living
in institutions in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, issues relating to
intimacy in lesbian, gay and bisexual homes and changing attitudes to the
privacy of beds. Some papers will examine how intimacy is presented in historic
house museum settings.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36.0pt; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;">Institutions
have always been an integral part of human society and were traditionally
understood as instruments of bureaucratic and social control and
administration. However, recent events such as the Eurozone crisis have seen a
collapse of trust in politics and the rise of activist movements such as Avaaz.
These global changes have called into question the traditional definitions of
institutions. ‘Institution’ also has a metaphorical meaning, from the
‘institution’ of marriage to a set of behaviours with very specific rules.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36.0pt; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;">What is an
‘institution’? Who makes ‘institutions’? How do they operate? What does the
process of ‘institutionalisation’ entail? With these questions in mind, the
History Lab Conference 2013 aims to investigate the relationships between
institutions, societies and individuals through the analysis of historical example.

Year Review of Results and Trends:</b> Identifying Our Customers’ Needs and
Expectations: A Data Driven Approach and Analysis Through the Use of LibQUAL+™
/ Organized by <b>Michael Maciel</b>, Texas A&M University Libraries,
USA The purpose of this workshop will be to demonstrate how effectively and
efficiently libraries can identify their user’s needs and expectations. Results
from the past five years of European libraries that participated in LibQUAL+™
will be used throughout the program as examples. LibQUAL+™, a user-centered
survey and program, enables library users to speak directly about the quality
of service they want to receive, access to information they require and the learning
spaces they need your library facilities to provide. These insights in turn can
be used by libraries to help craft their mission statements, development and
market the services they provide and ultimately make very strong cases for
funding. There will be four parts to the presentation. First, the current
economic and technological challenges that libraries face will be discussed.
The question of learning how to keep up with technology, as well as the
constant struggle to balance services and information resources will be
addressed. An overview of the LiQUAL+® program, its resources will be
presented. Further, it will be shown how from the very beginning, through the
LibQUAL+ registration process, the program helps libraries understand the
depths and facets of its customers. The workshop will emphasize how effectively
LibQUAL+™ can be used to identify and address economic and technological
challenges. Second, the presentation will, using an actual example,
demonstrate how to prepare for the implementation and administration of the
LibQUAL+™ survey while it is live. Topics such as marketing the survey to
ensure successful participation, the review and response to data while the
survey is live and understanding the wide inventory of methods available to
review your final results will be covered. Third, methods, analyses and
presentation of LibQUAL+ survey results will be discussed. This QQML
presentation will demonstrate these methods using aggregated data from European
libraries that participated in the LibQUAL+ between the five years of 2008
through 2012. The review will include comparisons of results by user groups,
results by category, usage analysis, and a trends analysis over the past 5
years. Fourth, this presentation will discuss the distribution and marketing of
the survey results to the libraries’ internal customers (e.g. service
departments, acquisitions and cataloging departments, and information
technology departments), its external customers (e.g. colleges, schools,
departments and student groups), and to the institution’s administration. The
presentation will conclude by once again addressing the myriad of challenges a
library faces, the solutions that LibQUAL+™ can provide and, finally, the need
for an ongoing commitment to assessing user needs and expectations.</span></div>

by Mr. <b>Markku A. Laitinen</b>, Planning Officer, The National Library of
Finland and Ms. <b>Anna Niemelä</b>, Service Coordinator, The National Library
of Finland The libraries have a long tradition in collecting statistical data
and other evidence - user survey data etc. - about their operations. In
practice, the utilization of data collected may not be as versatile as
possible. However, the evidence of effectiveness and impact of library services
may be of crucial importance for libraries to survive in the current economic
atmosphere. Hence, we invite library experts around the world to unite their
forces to find new good practices to show impact and value of libraries! In the
workshop, we seek together answers to following questions: - To which quarter
do you prove impact and value of your library? - How do you show that services
provided by your library give additional value to your customers/target group?
- What kind of information or data is necessary to collect in order to show
the impact and benefits of your library? The workshop is carried out in 3
sessions with same content during the conference </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;"> <b>Information
Grounds: A field method and design workshop for supporting how people
experience everyday information in informal social settings</b> <b>/ </b>Organized
Dr. <b>Karen E. Fisher</b>, Professor, University of Washington Information
School, USA Information Grounds are informal social settings where people
create, remix, and share everyday information all while attending to another
activity—cafes and pubs, hair and tattoo salons, grocery stores, football
games, waiting rooms, parks, libraries and book stores, public transport, the
beach… online settings too, including Warcraft, Etsy, Pinterest and more.
Fisher (writing as Pettigrew, 1999, p. 811), defined information grounds as
synergistic “environment(s) temporarily created when people come together for a
singular purpose but from whose behavior emerges a social atmosphere that
fosters the spontaneous and serendipitous sharing of information,” and later
developed propositions and a typology (Fisher, Landry & Naumer, 2007;
Counts & Fisher, 2010; <a href="http://pie.uw.edu/"><span style="color: windowtext;">pie.uw.edu</span></a>). In this all-day, two part-workshop,
participants will (a) learn the information ground “people-place-information”
conceptual framework and basic field methods for studying information grounds,
(b) conduct fieldwork in Rome, and (c) analyze their observations using a
design thinking approach that considers how their information ground might be
served and utilized by tweaking people, place, information factors via
applications, services and policy. Implications for how libraries can be
promoted as information grounds are a key highlight. <i>Note: this workshop is
a blast—very conceptual, but practical and hands-on: bring your walking shoes,
sun block, note pad/sketch book, digital camera and Euros for espresso and
biscotti.</i> Counts, S., & Fisher, K. E. (2010). Mobile Social Networking

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;">Over the
last years there has been much research and discussion about the future of
libraries, particularly public libraries, in relation with the state of society
and welfare. The economic crisis has exacerbated the situation of libraries in

doubt.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;">In these
difficult times, many methods have been applied to prove the social and
economic impact of libraries. An alternative method to measure the relevance
and the public perception of libraries could come from the analysis of
newspapers, considering that they still are an important means in building
public opinion.</span></div>

analysis of 8 newspapers of national interest coming from 4 different European
countries (UK, Italy, France and Spain) and concerns the quantity and quality
of articles on libraries published since 2008 on.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;">We are all
aware of the fact that the forces of globalization are not just felt in the spheres
of economics, politics, and sociology. Library and information science is also
facing the challenges brought on by vast technological changes that are having
an increasingly foundational impact upon the field. The concepts of
interdisciplinarity, problem-solving, and big data are explored here in an
effort to understand the intricacies of measurement in a rapidly changing
field, the tools that can be provided to our institutions and, most
importantly, to our users. Beginning with a look at a galaxy of clickstream
data that provides a striking example of interdisciplinarity, we can explore
the information universe where competing methodologies, both quantitative and
qualitative, demand our attention and resources. We will also try to see the
expanding edges of our universe to understand where we might be going next.</span></div>

<b><i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;">Lynne
Marie Rudasill</span></i></b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;"> is
Associate Professor and Global Studies Librarian at the University Library of
the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She is fully embedded in the
Center for Global Studies, a Title VI National Resource Center supported by the
U.S. Department of Education, and holds the unique distinction of being the
first professional full-time digital librarian in the emerging field of global
studies. Lynne provides library instruction, reference services, and collection
management support in the fields of global studies, European Union studies,
political science and United Nations documents. Like most professional
university librarians, Lynne regularly offers subject-area training and
instruction for students, faculty, K-12 teachers, and specialized audiences,
such as the military. In her capacity as Associate Professor of Library and
Information Science, Lynne has taught graduate courses at the University of
Illinois Graduate School of Library and Information Science including,
“Information, Libraries, and Society” and “Social Science Research Methods and
Resources”. GSLIS is the top-ranked library school in the nation, and the
University Library is the largest public university research library in the
United States. With her colleague, Barbara Ford, Director of the Mortenson
Center for International Librarianship, Lynne currently teaches an
undergraduate global studies course “The Power of Information in Development,”
which provides a multidisciplinary and information-intensive approach to the
study of the Millennium Development Goals of the United Nations.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;">Collaboration
signals bringing together people whose assets—professional skills and
expertise, social capital, work styles, personalities, and more work in harmony
towards achieving a common goal. A complex notion, collaboration ranges in
degree of formality, whether required or voluntary, and extent and type of
participation. Most research, like other human endeavors, comprises some
element of collaboration. Yet stories approach urban myth of collaborations
that were hard to create, wasted time, damaged relations, and left unfinished
business leading to nowhere. However, collaboration can go remarkably well,
showing the power of many, the creation of gold from dust. Two such examples
are shared—macro and micro—that have several commonalities and yet vary widely
in team size, budget, resources, and genesis. The U.S. Impact Study (2010-12)
of how people use computers and the Internet in public libraries led by Fisher,
Crandall and Becker was funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and
the Institute of Museum & Library Services. In addition to the PIs,
assistants and consultants, the study comprised an expert committee and
partnered with about 500 libraries. Mixed-methods—an unprecedented web survey
(continuing today), telephone survey and case studies—were used to study 50,000
people. The second study, InfoMe, is an ethnographic-design study that brings
together public libraries, community-based organizations, corporate agencies
and university researchers to understand how ethnic minority youth seek
information and use technology on behalf of other people, especially older
family members, and how this information mediary phenomenon can be supported
through information technology, services and policy. This study—being
exploratory, qualitative and design-focused but also involving survey
techniques and community training workshops is vastly smaller in nature and
entirely dependent on collaboration for success with its myriad partners.
Funded by Microsoft and the Institute of Museum and Library Services, InfoMe
led from the U.S. Impact Study that showed 63% of people used library
technology on behalf of another person in the past 12 months, which has strong
implications for how we design information systems, support information
literacy, and determine impact. Together these two studies illustrate how
collaboration can elevate the doing of research, turning every moment into a
state of flow and igniting research programs with long-reaching effects.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The
Edwardian period is often identified as a golden age of printed political
propaganda. Visual material, particularly in the form of cartoons, emerged as a
powerful tool utilised by political parties and the newspapers that supported
them in order to communicate with the mass electorate and to rally support. The
Edwardian period also laid the foundations of the welfare state in Britain,
with the Liberal party introducing measures including National Insurance in
1911. This paper explores the important role played by visual representations
of welfare and welfare recipients, produced by the Liberal press. It discusses
how the images were used to evoke specific emotions, and to convey important
messages about the Liberal policies, which were often more difficult to evoke
or convey in a textual or spoken format. For example, the use of drawings and
photographs of welfare recipients by the press simply enabled them to be seen,
reminding audiences that they were human beings in need, rather than a
statistic. This helped to evoke the emotions sympathy and compassion, and
therefore to help establish legitimacy for the often contested welfare
policies. Elsewhere, the visual art form of cartoons represented Liberal
welfare politicians aiding the poverty-stricken and the struggling working
classes in the guise of policemen, doctors, and even Father Christmases. This
paper suggests that these selected and recurring representations of welfare
politicians were utilised by the Liberal cartoonists in order to import the
cultural meanings associated with such public or mythical men during the
Edwardian period. This, in turn, conveyed important messages about the nature
of Liberal welfare reform, for example in terms of the redefined relationship
between the state and the welfare recipient, and in terms of its impact upon
masculine independence and the feminisation of public politics.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">As interest
in the full range of architecture in the interwar years grows, now is a good
time to examine the various manifestations of modernism and non-modernism in
the period. This symposium, to be held at St John’s College, Oxford, will pick
up on the richness and variety of architectural output that engaged with the
International Style whilst not ideologically part of it, and that which sought
to ignore it all together. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">This symposium
aims to bring non-Modernist, but not necessarily non-<i>moderne</i>, monuments, to the foreground. The symposium aims to
encourage terms like the neo-Georgian, Tudoresque, streamline <i>moderne</i>, twentieth century gothic
revivalism, and vernacular to be discussed and to engage with each other on the
same platform.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The recourse
to discussion of style, and the evolution of style, needs to be problematised.
The narrative of architectural history has tended towards the development of
style rather than the examination of architectural ideas across a number of
simultaneously existing stylistic options. Were there formal or theoretical
interests that transcended stylistic concerns during the interwar period? </span></div>

been an integral part of human society and were traditionally understood as
instruments of bureaucratic and social control and administration. However,
recent events such as the Eurozone crisis have seen a collapse of trust in politics
and the rise of activist movements such as Avaaz. These global changes have
called into question the traditional definitions of institutions. ‘Institution’
also has a metaphorical meaning, from the ‘institution’ of marriage to a set of
behaviours with very specific rules.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"></span></div>

series for 2013. On the Monday 28th January, Jennifer Wallis (Queen Mary
University of London) will present <b>Picturing the psyche: Fragments of the
insane body in the late 19th century</b>. The talk will explore the history of
the 19th-century asylum, and the ways historians have paid increasing attention
to the visual evidence contained in the many hundreds of photographs taken of
asylum patients, either for administrative purposes or as classically-inspired,
aesthetic renderings of mental illness. The second talk, in many ways
continuing the theme and historical period, will take place on Monday 25th
February. Sarah Chaney (UCL) & Nicholas Tromans (Kingston) will present <b>Art,
the Archive and the Avant-Garde Asylum, c. 1890 - 1914</b>. This talk will
explore some of the connections between art, psychiatry and modernism, focusing

feminist scholarship and activism throughout the last century. In this semester
the reading group revisits classic texts on embodiment and reproduction, which
offer alternative ways of knowing and living the body. We will discuss the
political implications of radical non-reproductivity, egg freezing,
transnational surrogacy and queering reproduction. Combining insights from
social sciences and humanities, our approach is interdisciplinary and attends
to the representation of reproductive and non-reproductive bodies in
photography, documentary film, literature and feminist thinking. Throughout the
term, we intend to put our own lived experience of the broader implications of
contemporary body and reproductive politics centre stage in the discussions,
honouring the assertion that the personal is political as well as a resource
for critical reflection. </span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"></span></div>

our debate on the 'relevance of history', one of our organisers has kicked
things off by writing a blog post on the historical basis of EU membership of
an independent Scotland. Check it out at <a href="http://www.historylabne.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank"><span style="color: windowtext;">www.historylabne.blogspot.co.uk</span></a>.<br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">This
paper will consider the practice and significance of the circulation of
remedies among a social network - the recipes' use as what might be
called social currency.<span> </span>To understand the concept, think
about the modern equivalent of emailing a friend with information on a
great place to stay or a new restaurant.<span> </span>The information
(the social currency) gets you brownie points (or social capital) which
means that your friend is more likely to return the favour with
information you need in the future.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Monetary currency can be spent on goods and services or saved and invested to build up a stock of financial capital.<span> </span>In
a similar fashion, social currency acts as a mediator in relationships,
its use forming a stock of social capital that can be accumulated by
providing favours or information and drawn on when assistance is sought
in return.<span> </span>The goodwill of others could be an extremely
valuable resource, particularly in an age when access to patronage was
so significant in the attainment of appointments or promotion.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Using
examples of recipes and extracts from letters and diaries, this paper
will examine the different elements of social capital, namely the social
networks that form its structure, the norms of reciprocity that guide
behaviour within the network, and the trust that the investment of
social currency tends to build up.<span> </span>From the particular
lens of the transmission of medical recipes, it will also venture
hypotheses regarding changes in the development and application of
social currency between the beginning and the end of the eighteenth
century.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Institutions
have always been an integral part of human society and were
traditionally understood as instruments of bureaucratic and social
control and administration. However, recent events such as the Eurozone
crisis have seen a collapse of trust in politics and the rise of
activist movements such as Avaaz. These global changes have called into
question the traditional definitions of institutions. ‘Institution’ also
has a metaphorical meaning, from the ‘institution’ of marriage to a set
of behaviours with very specific rules.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">What
is an ‘institution’? Who makes ‘institutions’? How do they operate?
What does the process of ‘institutionalisation’ entail? With these
questions in mind, the History Lab Conference 2013 aims to investigate
the relationships between institutions, societies and individuals
through the analysis of historical example.</span></div>

ways historians have paid increasing attention to the visual evidence
contained in the many hundreds of photographs taken of asylum patients,
either for administrative purposes or as classically-inspired, aesthetic
renderings of mental illness. The second talk, in many ways continuing
the theme and historical period, will take place on Monday 25th

- Kimberly Brice (King's College, London) - 'Canine Soldiers: Britain's
Messenger Dogs of the First World War, Room STB5, Basement, Stewart
House, 32 Russell Square, London, WC1B 5DN</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;">During the First World War, the British Army trained several hundred dogs to work as messengers on the front. Described
as ‘a product [of the First World War]’, the messenger dog was relied
on by the British Army to relay vital messages across relatively unknown
ground, and at times served as the only means of communication between
frontline troops and headquarters. The dogs, initially
recruited from dogs’ homes throughout the country and later gifted by
the British public, were trained at the War Dog Training School in
Shoeburyness before being dispatched to France for message-carrying
duties.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;">Able to traverse difficult
terrain amid shellfire and other obstacles, messenger dogs relied on
their acute sense of smell and comparatively small size to carry out
their work. These ‘canine soldiers’ possessed advantages
over both human runners and carrier pigeons and became particularly
valuable when telephone and telegraph wires proved unreliable. Yet
despite support from soldiers in the field, the messenger dog service
was not without its problems. The War Office had been
reluctant to establish a war dog training centre in the early years of
the war, and as a result, the training of messenger dogs in an official
capacity did not commence until 1917. Unfavourable reports
of the dogs’ work noted the propensity of soldiers to treat the dogs as
pets, as well as the distraction caused by the high number of strays in
an area. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;">My paper explores the
history of the British war dog programme, paying particular attention to
the establishment of the War Dog Training School and the training and
employment of messenger dogs in the First World War. I
will argue that, despite its limitations, the British messenger dog
scheme effectively supplemented, and at times, replaced other methods of
army communication. Although the messenger dog programme
was only in existence for nine months, the dogs proved to be a valuable
asset to the British Army and helped to encourage interest in the use of
dogs for war purposes in the Second World War.</span></div>

you get the jitters every time you give a seminar paper? Do you find
that you are unable to project your voice, speak too fast and don’t
connect with the audience? Or worse, are people falling asleep in your
lectures? Clear, effective and professional communication skills are
absolutely essential to any aspiring academic. While students are taught
the essentials of research, less emphasis is placed on presenting their
work either in the lecture hall or in the seminar room. The History Lab
in collaboration with Speakeasy (a public speaking training
organisation) will be hosting a one-day workshop focused on practising
and learning how to be a good public speaker.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial;">Institutions
have always been an integral part of human society and were
traditionally understood as instruments of bureaucratic and social
control and administration. However, recent events such as the Eurozone
crisis have seen a collapse of trust in politics and the rise of
activist movements such as Avaaz. These global changes have called into
question the traditional definitions of institutions. ‘Institution’ also
has a metaphorical meaning, from the ‘institution’ of marriage to a set
of behaviours with very specific rules.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial;">What
is an ‘institution’? Who makes ‘institutions’? How do they operate?
What does the process of ‘institutionalisation’ entail? With these
questions in mind, the History Lab Conference 2013 aims to investigate
the relationships between institutions, societies and individuals
through the analysis of historical example.</span></div>

Boys
Should Be Boys and Girls Should Be Wives: The Construction of a
Gendered Identity in the Boy's Own Paper and Girls' Own Paper</div>
<div>
<br /><b>Where:</b> Room STB5, Basement, Stewart House, 32 Russell Square, London, WC1B 5DN </div>
<div>
<br /><b>Description:</b> This
paper will explore the role played by the Boy’s Own Paper and Girl’s
Own Paper in shaping and defining an explicitly gendered identity for
its readers. Consideration will be given to the significance of the
Papers’ ownership by the Religious Tract Society, a missionary
organisation whose concern in starting the papers was to address
perceived problems of juvenile delinquency. The focus will be on the
papers’ role from 1914 until 1967 when the Boy’s Own Paper ceased
publication (The Girl’s Own closed in 1956). Both papers sought to
shape juvenile behaviour, encourage religiosity, and instil ‘correct’
moral codes and behaviour in young people, but vitally they did so in an
explicitly gendered way. It will be shown that in common with many
youth movements of the time, the papers created a ‘space’ where a boy
could and should be a boy, and a girl understood and prepared for her
future role as the spiritual heart of the home. This paper considers
the way the Boy’s Own and Girl’s Own explicitly and implicitly
differentiated between ‘boyhood’ and ‘girlhood’, assigning young people
gendered areas of social space which touched on every aspect of their
lives from their internal emotional life, to etiquette, dress, leisure
activities, future aspirations, and their role as citizens of the nation
and Empire. The readers were not passive however, and there were other
influences at work upon them. Nor were the papers a consistent
articulation of a unified publishing policy, but rather the product of
negotiations and interactions between the publisher, the editors, and
young people. The papers are therefore considered as constructs, and
there is exploration of the interplay of forces which enabled the
papers’ production, and the extent to which young people could
influence, shape or ultimately reject them.<br />

<br />• New Times Revisited? Examining Society, Culture and Politics in
the Long 1980s, University of Birmingham & University of Warwick,
28th-29th June 2013 </b><br /><br />Plenary speakers: James Vernon (UC Berkeley) and Stephen Brooke (York University)<br />
<br />How should historians of Britain understand the long 1980s? This
conference takes its name from the discussion of the meaning of New
Times in the journal Marxism Today. ‘New times’ sought to characterise a
period during which ideas of post-war consensus were critiqued,
Keynesian economic frameworks were challenged, identity politics
proliferated and class solidarities shifted. This conference aims to
develop and question such a narrative by asking how a sense of ‘new
times’ relates to longer term cultural and social change. We invite
papers examining society, politics, and culture during the 1970s and
1980s from a local, British and global perspective.<br />
<br />We ask: Can the decade be seen as an ‘age of fracture’? To what
extent did Britain feel a ‘shock of the global’? How closely should we
associate the era with the emergence and consolidation of a new
hegemonic politics associated with Thatcherism? How was Thatcherism
experienced in everyday life? Would Thatcherism have existed without
Thatcher? What narratives best encapsulate everyday and ‘ordinary’
experience in the 1980s?<br />
<br />We also welcome discussion of the following themes:<br />* The crisis of the Left and the emergence of a ‘new right’. Was this the ‘Great Moving Right Show’?<br />* Britain’s position in relation to the rest of the world.<br />
* What were the key agents in driving political, economic, cultural and
social change in the 1980s? How important were parties, social
movements, supranational institutions, big business and ‘the city’ to
the changes of the decade?<br />
*How were issues such as race and sexuality experienced in ‘ordinary’ settings?<br />This
conference is aimed at postgraduate, early career researchers, and
established researchers. It is geared towards creating a research agenda
for those interested in studying a ‘long 1980s’. It is a joint
initiative between the Birmingham Centre for Modern and Contemporary
History and the University of Warwick’s Institute for Advanced Studies.<br />

• <b>The Relevance of History – North East History Lab, Northumbria University, 15 February 2013</b><br />We
are pleased to invite speakers for the first event of the new North
East History Lab. As part of a fantastic networking opportunity for
postgraduate history students based in the North East, we are looking
for several short presentations (10-15 mins) to form the basis of an
afternoon workshop about the relevance of history. The workshop is
intended to create an informal and non-threatening atmosphere in which
postgraduate researchers can share ideas, develop their skills and
create links with historians from different institutions and
backgrounds. The afternoon’s events are set to include:<br />
<br />• Presentations on the relevance of historical research.<br />• An open discussion group on issues with ascribing value to historical research.<br />• A training session for researchers on outreach and impact issues.<br />• Networking and socialising opportunities.<br />
<br />The presentations should ideally give a brief overview of on-going
research projects within the context of evaluating the relevance of
history. Different approaches may highlight variable concepts of value,
encompassing the possible social, political, cultural or economic
relevance of historical research. The emphasis of the day in general
will be to generate debate, discussion and introspective analysis of the
relevance of our own work as historians.<br />
<br />Those interested in giving a presentation please send a 100-200 word abstract via email to <a href="mailto:historylab.northeast@gmail.com" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">historylab.northeast@gmail.com</a> with ‘Relevance of History’ as the subject by 15 January 2013.<br />

<br />______________________________________________<br /><b>Conference<br /><br />INSTITUTIONS: History Lab Annual Conference 2013<br />Institute of Historical Research, London, 12-13 June 2013</b><br />Institutions
have always been an integral part of human society and were
traditionally understood as instruments of bureaucratic and social
control and administration. However, recent events such as the Eurozone
crisis have seen a collapse of trust in politics and the rise of
activist movements such as Avaaz. These global changes have called into
question the traditional definitions of institutions. ‘Institution’ also
has a metaphorical meaning, from the ‘institution’ of marriage to a set
of behaviours with very specific rules.<br />
What is an ‘institution’? Who makes ‘institutions’? How do they operate?
What does the process of ‘institutionalisation’ entail? With these
questions in mind, the History Lab Conference 2013 aims to investigate
the relationships between institutions, societies and individuals
through the analysis of historical example.<br />
Postgraduate students and early-career researchers are invited to submit
proposals for papers (twenty minutes), or panels of three speakers, on
specific topics exploring institutions or on wider relevant
methodological and philosophical issues.<br />
Papers may cover any historical region or period, exploring institutions
in topics including, but not limited to, the following areas.<br />• Religion and morality<br />• Social and community activism, protest and resistance.<br />
• Governmental, non-governmental and charitable<br />• Medicine, medical institutions and treatment.<br />• Administration, bureaucracy and accountability.<br />• Industry, trade and commerce..<br />• The family, education and welfare.<br />
• Cultural production and practices.<br />• Labour, business and industrial relations.<br />• Policing, law and order, and incarceration.<br /> <br />Some travel bursaries will be available for research students travelling from the United States. Please email <a href="mailto:historylab2013@gmail.com" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">historylab2013@gmail.com</a> for further details. <br />

contact details to: <a href="mailto:historylab2013@gmail.com" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">historylab2013@gmail.com</a> by the deadline of Thursday 28th February, 2013.<br />

of Dresden, 1945', Thursday 1 November, 17:30 – 19:30, Room STB6, Basement, Stewart House, 32 Russell Square, London, WC1B 5DN</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 14pt; margin-top: 14pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;">In
February 1945 RAF Bomber Command launched a devastating attack on the
German city of Dresden. In terms of planning, the scale of the raid was
similar
to many others undertaken since the official switch to a policy of area
bombing in 1942. Climatic conditions however helped create a fire-storm.
This caused widespread destruction and a high death toll in a city
swelled in population by an influx of refugees
from the ruined cities of the Reich. The paper will show –with reference
to a range of contemporary sources – the significant level of dissent
which immediately followed the attack on Dresden, and challenge the view
that it is only with hindsight that the motives
for the raid can be questioned.</span></div>

Helen McKee (Newcastle) / Jon Chandler (UCL) - 'Free' Communities in
the Atlantic World: Comparing the Jamaican Maroons and the Creek Indians
in the Eighteenth and Early Nineteenth Centuries / The Role of Native
Americans in the Development of Continental American Identity', Thursday

<span style="color: black; font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;">Helen
McKee: My paper explores the role that ‘free’ communities had in the
Atlantic World by comparing the Jamaican Maroons and the Creek Indians
in
the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. African-descended groups
and indigenous groups are usually kept separate in historical research.
Unlike the typical monographs that examine free societies in the
Atlantic World, this paper brings together and compares
two communities usually separated by the racial divide. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 14pt; margin-top: 14pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;">Jon
Chandler: The War of Independence was the formative moment of the
American nation, but how far did it contribute to the formation of an
American
national identity? This paper will attempt to provide a glimpse of this
broad topic by exploring the role played by Native Americans in the
coalescence of the disparate continental colonies during the
revolutionary conflict. </span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 14pt; margin-top: 14pt;">
<span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;">In
medieval historiography, ‘chivalry’ is a tired term, a concept which
threatens to become as meaningless and formless as ‘feudalism’. Whilst
medievalists remain
divided on whether chivalry represents a romantic ideal or historical
reality, one broadly agreed-upon tenet of medieval studies, however, is
that the origins of chivalric ideas are to be found in secular,
‘knightly’ society. Chivalry describes an aristocratic
ethos, typically expressed in the vernacular. This paper seeks to
challenge that conclusion by providing a new framework for examining
‘chivalric’ ideals, and discussing a hitherto unexplored influence on
chivalric culture: Roman histories.</span></div>

</span><span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;"><br />
Applications are invited for a fully funded PhD studentship at the
Department of Geography, Royal Holloway, University of London in
partnership with The Arts Catalyst, London.</span><span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;"><br />
Supervisory team: Dr Harriet Hawkins (RHUL) Prof. Deborah Dixon
(University of Glasgow) and Nicola Triscott and Dr Rob La Frenais (The
Arts Catalyst)</span><span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;"><br />
Recent contemporary arts projects have directly engaged with, or taken
as their subject, a range of sites, spaces, practices, ideas, and
cultures of science and advanced technology. These trans-disciplinary
art projects present highly varied contexts for research,
production and exhibition, and working alongside The Arts Catalyst this
studentship will investigate the practical, curatorial and production
demands posed by these projects. Exploring and potentially participating
in the commissioning and curation of arts
projects that engage with science critically and experimentally, this
studentship will ask research questions including:</span><span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;"><br />
</span><br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 14pt;">
<span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;">How do art-science projects engage and extend the practices of curation?</span><span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;"><br />
What sorts of critical engagements with the spaces of scientific research and artistic production do these projects generate?</span><span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;"><br />
What lessons can be learnt about the challenges and possibilities these projects raise for cultural producers and curators?</span><span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;"><br />
How do art-science projects contribute to our understandings of the geographies of art and science?</span><span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;"><br />
The award is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, and the
studentship pays post-graduate fees at RHUL and an annual maintenance
grant.</span></div>

were regularly admitted to pauper lunatic asylums during the nineteenth

it meant to
be a child lunatic is yet to be conducted. This paper intends to address
these issues using examples from the patient case-files of five county

<div style="margin-bottom: 9.92pt; margin-top: 14pt;">
<span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;">Since
its inception, the overwhelming majority of photography has taken place
outside of the realms of professional practice, yet little sustained
and empirically
grounded attention has been paid to the many nuanced forms that exist
within this vast, but rarely well-defined, ‘amateur’ category. Research
has tended to cluster around certain sites and themes: the ideology of
the family album; the apparently artless and
hapless ‘snapshot’; and the ‘found’ photograph as a form of vernacular
artistic inspiration, thereby neglecting a wide and varied range of
amateur photographic positions beyond and between. Existing literature
broadly divides between those who are, at times,
vehemently dismissive of the apparently conventional aesthetics of
popular practice, and those that privilege the non-professional with an
almost outsider status, closer to photographic ‘authenticity’. Through
bringing together, in debate, scholars and practitioners
of all stripes, this symposium seeks to problematise such binary
oppositions, challenge existing knowledge, and reconsider the particular
and distinctive positions of the amateur photograph and photographer,
both historically and in the rapidly changing present.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 11.9pt; margin-top: 14pt;">
<span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;">Papers
and discussions throughout the day address the broad area of concern
outlined above, and the specialist knowledge of the contributors,
through the consideration
of a number of clustered key issues:</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 9.92pt; margin-top: 14pt;">
<span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;">Fundamentally,
who are amateur photographers and how might they be defined? Where do
the categorical boundaries lie? What are the particular class, gender
and age
demographics of the aspirational amateur photographer, and how might
these be shifting in new media landscapes? What are the analytical
methods by which the vast body of historical and contemporary amateur
practice may come to be understood? How might changing
practices and critical perspectives expand and contest traditional
approaches? </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 9.92pt; margin-top: 14pt;">
<span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;">What
is the social significance of amateur photography beyond the ‘family
function’ and the domestic sphere? How do amateur photographic
institutions, societies,
sites, fora and literature shape practice and products? What do new
public audiences do to once private practices? What is the role of
technology in constituting and performing photographic identities, past
and present?</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 9.92pt; margin-top: 14pt;">
<span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;">What
part do pictorial concerns play in amateur practice? Why have so-called
‘serious’ amateurs been subject to such critical dismissal? What is
aesthetically distinctive
about the aspirational amateur photograph? Where are the points of
convergence and dissonance with professional and/or art photography? How
might amateur photography correlate with other amateur creative
practices? </span><span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br />

<span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;">The </span><span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;"><u>Institute of Historical Research (IHR) </u></span><span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;">and the </span><span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;"><u>History
of Parliament Trust</u></span><span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;">
(HoP) are offering two three-year Collaborative Doctoral Awards (or
five-year part-time) PhD studentships 2012-15 to work on the history of
the Houses of Parliament and the parliamentary
representative system in the 19</span><span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;">
century. These doctoral research studentships build on the unique
partnership between the IHR and the History
of Parliament which dates back to the 1930s, and will benefit
particularly from the expertise of the new 1832-1868 section of the
History of Parliament.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 14pt;">
<span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;">The studentships will commence on </span><span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">1 October 2012.</span></span><span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 14pt;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;"><u>Short description of the project</u></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 14pt;">
<span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;">As
Britain began to embrace democracy and reform during the 19th century,
it clung to a peculiarly old-fashioned set of parliamentary
institutions. The Commons continued
to meet daily in what amounted to a 13th century chapel, and the MPs
were returned by electoral units – boroughs and counties – which in
their essential format had remained unchanged from the medieval
Parliaments comprised of knights of the shires and burgesses
of the towns. This project investigates how, when and why the spatial
context of the parliamentary system changed in the Victorian era of
reform. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 14pt;">
<span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;">One
research student will look from the inside at the debating chamber and
the public spaces of the palace of Westminster, analysing how Parliament
adapted its layout
and functions to suit the different demands of MPs and the public after
the 1832 reform act. The research will examine in detail the important
differences between the three different debating chambers in use between
1832 and 1868, how they functioned physically
and affected the style and tone of parliamentary debate, and relations
between parties, factions and individual MPs. It will also look at
public access to the lobby of Parliament, that is ‘St Stephen’s’, and
will place the design and rebuilding of the Commons
within the wider context of the contemporary discussion of senates
around the world, especially in the British colonies, mapping the
exemplary influence of the Westminster model. Sources for this research
will include parliamentary papers and Hansard debates,
manuscripts of successive Speakers of the Commons and other
parliamentary officials such as May, procedural manuals and
parliamentary journalism. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 14pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;">The
second researcher will look at the geography of power relations
institutionalised in the electoral map of 19th century Britain. In
particular the research
will focus on the work of the Boundary Commissioners who in successive
reform acts (1832, 1867 and 1885) worked hard to maintain the division
between the separate representation of towns and counties, before in
1885 sweeping away six centuries of convention
and introducing single-member constituencies. Its sources will include
the rep</span><span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;">orts of the
Boundary Commissioners, the large body of statistical material
(gazetteers, parliamentary papers, periodical articles),
</span><span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;"><i>Hansard </i></span><span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;">and
constitutional writing of the 19th century, as well as Mss of key
politicians (election agents, party whips, and key reformers such as
Parkes, Bright and Lubbock.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 14pt;">
<span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;">Apart
from the two PhD theses – one on the Houses of Parliament and one on
the Boundary Commissioners – the project will have three other outcomes,
which will be produced
under the guidance of the non-HEI partner, that is the 1832-1868 section
of the History of Parliament. They will oversee the creation of two
digital resources. First, a 3D recreation of the Commons, its sitting
layout, and the working of the division lobbies
in the three spaces occupied by the Commons in the period 1832-1851. As
part of this the student will create materials for a small on-line
exhibition looking at Charles’ Barry’s Parliament and its rivals,
focusing on the alternative schemes put forward for
the design of the debating chamber in the 1790s and again in the 1830s.
The second digital resource will be an enhanced digital reproduction of
all the constituency maps produced by the Boundary Commissioners in the
19th century, to which GIS and OS cross-referencing
will be added. Finally, there will be an end of project colloquium
presenting and reviewing the main findings of the PhD researchers and
related research associated with the History of Parliament 1832-1868
section.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 14pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;">Successful
candidates for these doctoral studentships will be initially registered
as MPhil students. At the beginning of the studentships, research
training
needs will be assessed, based on the students' MA or other experience
and the needs of the project. The IHR provides a unique research
training programme </span><a href="https://amsprd0104.outlook.com/owa/redir.aspx?C=oeRI3LP-M02ntl-tdKQX7Udfql7kRM8IR_XNS6BxMPN--fgdlvDfjFXnbHrO_Zr4ZWXSChfBVuE.&URL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.history.ac.uk%2fresearch-training" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;">http://www.history.ac.uk/research-training</span></a><span style="color: black; font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;">
, with advanced guidance on archives, databases, digital applications and historical </span><span style="color: black; font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;">method, and the students will be expected to attend some of these courses in their first two years. They will
also be expected to attend relevant IHR research seminars. </span><span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;">At
the History of Parliament Trust the students will be provided with more
specialist training in parliamentary resources and research
methodologies
delivered by the two senior academics running the 1832-68 section. On
appointment they will attend an introductory course, similar to that run
by the 1832-68 section for graduate students at Warwick University
('Rethinking writing the history of Parliament').
Over the next six months, the students will then be required to research
and write one biography of an MP as a training exercise, using the full
range of sources available to the section. They will work on obtaining
the skills necessary for this in their 90
minute consultations and visits to the section. Their draft articles
will be jointly assessed by the section editor and their main supervisor
and form a part of the formal qualification process ensuring that their
literacy and research skills are satisfactory
to progress towards their PhD.</span></div>

<div align="justify" style="margin-bottom: 14pt; margin-top: 14pt;">
<span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;"><span lang="en-US">In
recent years, a significant body of research has been undertaken into
the various historical, political and social contexts in
which political radicalism has developed throughout the Americas.
However, little effort has been made to highlight the benefits of
comparative or transnational approaches to these developments.</span></span></div>
<div align="justify" style="margin-bottom: 14pt; margin-top: 14pt;">
<span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;"><span lang="en-US">This
event (at UCL’s new Institute of the Americas) will seek to address
this problem by bringing a range of disciplinary and geographical
perspectives to bear on the issue of radicalism in the Americas. It will
consist of a two-day symposium designed to promote the existence of an
international community of researchers whose work ranges in disciplinary
focus from political science and international
relations to history, literature, and cultural studies. A selection of
papers stemming from the symposium will be submitted for a planned
edited volume. In addition to the academic papers, there will be films,
poetry and songs.</span></span></div>
<div align="justify" style="margin-bottom: 14pt; margin-top: 14pt;">
<span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;"><span lang="en-US">The
proposed definition of “radicalism” is a broad one, encompassing both
political radicalism as an object of study, and radical
analytical approaches to societies and cultures of the Americas - in
essence, any group or standpoint advocating fundamental change or
reimagining of the status quo. We aim to begin with the democratic and
republican radicalisms of the nineteenth century; to
then move through the socialist, anarchist, communist, populist and
social-democratic radicalisms of the early to mid twentieth century;
finally, to confront identity politics, the New Left, social movements
and contemporary state radicalisms.</span></span></div>
<div align="justify" style="margin-bottom: 14pt; margin-top: 14pt;">
<span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;"><span lang="en-US">The

working on specific national topics and those whose focus is comparative
or transnational. Subjects might include:</span></span></div>

<div align="justify" style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 14pt;">
<span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;">The
National Portrait Gallery is seeking to appoint an intern for six
months with a proven interest in portraiture to gain experience in
general curatorial
work and research across a number of projects. The main focus of the
internship will be on the 18</span><span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;">-Century
Collections but an interest in the
portraiture of other periods is desirable. Tasks may include answering
public enquiries, scoping out ideas for the annual redisplay of Regency
miniatures, research towards a forthcoming display on World War Two and
the RAF at Beningbrough Hall, the Gallery’s
regional partnership in Yorkshire and research support towards an
academic study of portrait print collecting and extra-illustration in
eighteenth-century Britain. As a large part of the internship will
involve research in libraries and archives in London,
it would be an advantage to have completed an MA or be engaged in a
programme of PhD study.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;"><span lang="en-US" style="font-weight: normal;">The
Prince Regent loved Brighton and left his mark - not only with the
Royal Pavilion but
on life in general. What was society like at that time? How did ordinary
people live? What did "the seaside" mean? What was the Prince Regent's
cultural legacy? What did people eat and wear? What was the enduring
impact of the Regency on the life and buildings
of Brighton and Hove? This weekend is designed for both the
knowledgeable and the interested to celebrate the bicentenary of the
first full year of the Regency. Sir Simon Jenkins opens the proceedings,
with Dan Cruickshank following on with The Year 1812. At
iconic Brighton venues, including the Brighton Pavilion and the historic
Old Ship Hotel, 20 experts will explore many aspects of life at the
time. Confirmed contributors to the weekend include: Dr Sue Berry, Allan
Brodie, Professor Fred Gray, Professor Tim
Hitchcock, Lucy Inglis, Neil Burton, Professor Gavin Henderson, Dr
Steven Parissien, Professor Jonathan Woodham, Jackie Marsh-Hobbs, David
Beevers, Alexandra Loske, Nick Tyson, Geoffrey Mead, Professor David
Robson, Lucy Adlington, Ivan Day.</span></span></div>

“Sex lies at the root of life, and we can never learn to reverence life
until we know how to understand sex.” Havelock Ellis, Studies in the

The Victorian period is still too often identified with prudish
attitudes towards sex and sexuality in the modern popular imagination.
Despite the work of Michel Foucault, whose groundbreaking History of
Sexuality challenged the ‘repressive hypothesis’ of Victorian
sexual lives by revealing the pervasiveness of discourse about sex in
institutional, scientific, artistic, and philosophical thought, frank
discussions of sexual identity remain primarily associated with the
development of psychoanalysis in the twentieth century.
We invite papers that address the theme of Autumn term’s seminar series,
“Sex and the Nineteenth Century”, from scholars in all disciplines, at
all stages of study. The seminar series will complement events including
films, reading group sessions, and visits
to museums and art galleries that engage with the idea of sex as a
fundamental aspect of nineteenth-century culture, life, and values.
Potential paper topics might include, but are not limited to:</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Communication
through social media is becoming part of the fabric of everyday life
for millions of people.
A wide variety of public and private institutions use social media to
share their goals and policies with the public, attract people to
participate in activities they organise, and engage in dialogue with the
users of their services. The AHRC Social Media Knowledge
Exchange (SMKE) is a collaborative project that aims to give early
career researchers in the Arts and Humanities opportunities for
knowledge exchange with social media practitioners in academia, museums,
archives and libraries, and the voluntary sector. We
understand 'social media' to mean online communication channels which
allow the users of the service to create and exchange content with each
other as well as with the channel owner.</span></span><span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br />
</span></span><span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br />
Through a scholarship scheme, workshops and a conference, the Social
Media Knowledge Exchange will help postgraduate students and early
career researchers to develop skills to build their networks, reputation
and esteem as researchers at a point when this is
critically important to their careers, and provide them with structured
opportunities to learn about social media practice outside their own
discipline and institution, and in a wide variety of sectors beyond
academia.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;">The
Centre for South Asian Studies and the Centre for African Studies at
the University of Cambridge are hosting a two-day conference
on colonial violence.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 14pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;">Scholars
have long accepted the fact that imperialism and colonialism were
established on the foundation of violent appropriation. However,
researchers have debated the importance of violence in the expansion,
maintenance and institutionalisation of colonial rule. We are concerned
not only with the spectacular performances of violence in the colonial
context, but also with more quotidian forms
of violence whose historical importance and lasting legacies remain to
be investigated. This conference seeks to move beyond instrumentalist
understandings of colonial violence and invites scholars to propose
alternative interpretations, theoretical approaches,
and future avenues of research.</span></div>
<div align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 14pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;">Registration
closes the 30th of May. Conference fees includes coffee/tea, wine

<div style="margin-bottom: 14pt; margin-top: 14pt;">
<span lang="en"><span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;">With
the Olympics upon us in the UK it seems an appropriate moment to think
more broadly about the ways in which the classical world resonates in
our
own times, and how successive epochs of modernity since the Renaissance
have situated themselves in relation to the various ancient
civilisations. From political theory to aesthetics, across the arts of
war and of peace, to concepts of education, family, gender,
race and slavery, it is hard to think of a facet of the last millennium
which has not been informed by the ancient past and through a range of
media, including museums, painting, poetry, film and the built
environment. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 14pt; margin-top: 14pt;">
<span lang="en"><span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;">The
Institute’s 81st Anglo-American conference seeks to represent the full
extent of work on classical receptions, welcoming not only those
scholars
who work on Roman, Greek and Judaeo-Christian legacies and influences,
but also historians of the ancient kingdoms and empires of Asia and
pre-Colombian America. Our plenary lecturers include: Paul Cartledge
(Cambridge), Constanze Güthenke (Princeton), Mark
Lewis (Stanford), Sanjay Subrahmanyam (UCLA) and David Womersley
(Oxford).</span></span></div>

</span></span><span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;">Wednesday 7th</span><span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif;"><sup> </sup></span><span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;">November 2012, Queen Mary, University of London</span></span></div>

<div align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 14pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Decades
have passed since the first published histories examining aspects of
gay, lesbian, bisexual,
trans, intersex or queer life, or analysing social movements made up by
LGBTIQ people. Historical work on LGBT or queer “issues” is now more
accepted in the academy than ever before, and has enriched our knowledge
enormously. However, postgraduate historians
working on LGBT research topics – at least in the UK – have no
recognisable network to call upon, lack any clear idea of what this
“generation” of researchers' agenda, approach and methodology might be,
and many academics and researchers appear curiously aloof
from community projects such as </span></span><a href="https://amsprd0104.outlook.com/owa/redir.aspx?C=oF1wqCBl30iLumYBii1R1dSpwZ7VAM8IIfKIkTG_JEkcAkg2vD4Z01SdJWjJI3Bc1yOjRiPLZlE.&URL=http%3a%2f%2flgbthistorymonth.org.uk%2f" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">LGBT

</div>
<div align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 14pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;">This
conference aims to bring together postgraduate historians and
early-career researchers working on any aspect of LGBT or Q history,
in any country or era. We want to highlight and discuss the range of
topics and methodological approaches being pursued by this generation of
researchers; to consider the intersections and differences between
historical work on L, G, B, T and Q topics, and
to explore how LGBTQ history relates to wider narratives, and the modern
historical profession.</span></div>

<div align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 14pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;">This
will be followed by an evening panel event chaired by Sue Sanders,
co-chair of LGBT history month. She will be joined by Professor
Julian Jackson, whose latest book concerns homosexual politics in France
in the post-war period, and Lindsay River, an activist in the 1970s
with – among others – Gay Liberation Front, and more recently the
founder of </span><a href="https://amsprd0104.outlook.com/owa/redir.aspx?C=oF1wqCBl30iLumYBii1R1dSpwZ7VAM8IIfKIkTG_JEkcAkg2vD4Z01SdJWjJI3Bc1yOjRiPLZlE.&URL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.ageofdiversity.org.uk%2f" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;">Age
of Diversity</span></a><span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;">,
which aims to provide a national voice for older LGBT people in the UK
(other speakers tbc). This evening event will give us the chance to
explore some of the definitional, historical, political
and activist implications of “LGBT history” and to explore how
researchers might better engage with LGBT history month and community
history. </span></div>

We would especially welcome papers discussing adapting research work for
a non- academic audience. We are also interested in interdisciplinary
approaches to LGBT(Q) history and welcome papers from those whose
research is not necessarily based in history departments.

<span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;">'Meet
the Historian’ events are an opportunity to hear at first hand from
noted historians how and why they became historians in the first place,
their thoughts on
research and the discipline generally, and about their latest work.
There will be the chance to ask questions and enter into discussion, and
to join the speaker for drinks after the talk. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 14pt; margin-top: 14pt;">
<span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;">John
Arnold is head of department and assistant dean of Birkbeck, University
of London. He is the author of What is Medieval History? and Belief and
Unbelief in Medieval
Europe, and is currently co-editing a collection of essays on the
history of masculinity; research in writings against heresy from
antiquity to the Reformation; and editing forthcoming The Oxford
Handbook to Medieval Christianity. His research is informed by
interdisciplinary perspectives, drawing particularly on insights from
theoretical works in literary, cultural and anthropological studies, and
he has researched broader themes of gender (particularly masculinity)
and subjectivity in the medieval period. He
also confesses to having published minor work on horror movies and
science-fiction literature!</span></div>

History Lab Seminar invites papers
for the 2012-13 academic year. The seminar is a great opportunity to
present your ongoing work or research conclusions to fellow
postgraduates and early career historians in a relaxed and friendly
atmosphere.</span></div>
<div align="justify" style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 14pt;">
<span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;">Papers
can be on any aspect or time period of historical study. They should be
either 40 to 45 minutes long or we welcome the submission of joint
seminars
with two papers of 20 to 25 minutes duration (even if the two topics are
loosely related). All seminars are followed by a discussion session
lasting around 15 minutes. The seminars are a great way to socialise
with historians who are at similar stages in their
careers, and as such the seminars always finish with drinks (and there
are frequent post-seminar pub visits).</span></div>

post-doctoral research
fellowships in the field of sculpture studies at a British university
from the autumn of 2012. Managed by the Henry Moore Institute, these
Fellowships assist scholars who have recently completed doctoral studies
to prepare a substantial publication or similar
research output. The Foundation will award a grant of up to £21,000 per
annum towards the fellowship. </span></span><span style="font-family: Liberation Serif,serif; font-size: medium;">Applicants
must have an affiliation with a university department who will act as
the host to the
Fellow. Fellows will be expected to present the development of their
work every six months to the Henry Moore Institute, a centre for the
study of sculpture based in Leeds. The Fellowships run for two years,
however if the Fellow does not fulfil his/her obligations
to the University in the first year, the second year's funding could at
the Foundation's discretion be revoked.</span></div>

There will be the chance to ask questions and enter<br />into discussion, and to join the speaker for drinks after the talk.<br />Call for Papers: The History Lab Seminar invites papers for the<br />2012-13 academic year. The seminar is a great opportunity to present your<br />ongoing work or research conclusions to fellow postgraduates and early career<br />historians in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.<br />Papers can be on any aspect or time period of<br />historical study. They should be either 40 to 45 minutes long or we welcome the<br />submission of joint seminars with two papers of 20 to 25 minutes duration (even<br />if the two topics are loosely related). All seminars are followed by a<br />discussion session lasting around 15 minutes. The seminars are a great way to<br />socialise with historians who are at similar stages in their careers, and as<br />such the seminars always finish with drinks (and there are frequent post-seminar<br />pub visits).<br /><br />If you are interested, please send an abstract of<br />between 250 and 350 words outlining your proposed paper to the seminar convenors<br />at <a href="https://amsprd0104.outlook.com/owa/redir.aspx?C=VWLdnkZJ2EWAR2Oh6NomX9SnFQSy8c4IaGrkRSgq-lMftkml_48MmGxsRFzInRyzCHppU3WTYTk.&URL=mailto%3apostgraduateearlycareerseminar%40gmail.com" target="_blank">postgraduateearlycareerseminar@gmail.com</a>. Please include some brief information<br />about the stage you are at in your studies and research interests. Seminars take<br />place at the Institute of Historical Research (Senate House, London).<br />We are able<br />to podcast the seminars on our website. Therefore, please indicate in your<br />submission whether you are willing to have your paper<br />recorded.<br />The deadline for submission is 7th May 2012.<br /><br />Methods Workshop: Putting historical theory<br />into practice: Wednesday 9<br />May, 10:00 – 17:00, University<br />of Roehampton, Roehampton Lane, London SW15 5PU<br />A one-day study day organised by the Centre for<br />History and Theory at Roehampton University and History Lab<br />This study day is directed towards postgraduate<br />(Masters and doctoral) students who wish to look at current historical theory<br />and the ways in which theory can be used in producing historical research. It is<br />made up of a series of interactive workshops in which academics from Roehampton<br />introduce theoretical ideas which have influenced their own historical work and<br />explore the ways in which these ideas can be deployed in writing dissertations,<br />articles and books. The focus of the day will very much be on the practical<br />value of theory and there will be ample opportunities for students to reflect on<br />and discuss the role of theory in their own work.<br />Programme:<br />10.0-10.30 - Registration<br />10.30 – 11.15: John Tosh: 'Paradigms for the<br />perplexed' – How historians handle explanatory theories<br />11.15 – 12.15: Krisztina Robert: ‘The spatial<br />turn’ - How spatial theory and analysis can be used in historical<br />research<br />12.15 – 1.15: Lunch<br />1.15 – 2. 0: Susan Deacy and Fiona McHardy: ‘New<br />approaches to the history of violence’ – with a special focus on ancient<br />Greece<br />2.0-2.45: Sara Pennell: ‘History and material<br />culture’: Looking at the way in which theoretical ideas have migrated to History<br />from Archaeology and Anthropology<br />2.45-3.30: Carrie Hamilton: ‘History and<br />intersectionality’ – drawing on theory from feminism and critical race<br />theory<br />3.30-4.0: Tea<br />4.0-5.0: Round table on ‘Historiography and<br />Historical theory now’ led by Antonio Cartolano<br />UPDATE: This event is now fully<br />booked.<br />If you would like to be added to the waiting<br />list:<br /><a href="https://amsprd0104.outlook.com/owa/redir.aspx?C=VWLdnkZJ2EWAR2Oh6NomX9SnFQSy8c4IaGrkRSgq-lMftkml_48MmGxsRFzInRyzCHppU3WTYTk.&URL=https%3a%2f%2fdocs.google.com%2fspreadsheet%2fembeddedform%3fformkey%3ddFplbVMyMjNkb0E3c0dvNS1zTjFGM3c6MQ" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/embeddedform?formkey=dFplbVMyMjNkb0E3c0dvNS1zTjFGM3c6MQ</a><br />Seminar: Mark King/Claire Fetherstonhaugh (Cambridge) –<br />Aspects of Governance in the Early Reign of Richard II: Richard II’s use of the<br />Signet and Privy Seals during the 1380s./The Earls in Government During the<br />Minority of Richard II, Thursday 17 May, 17:30 – 19:30, Holden Room (Room 103),<br />Senate House<br />For more<br />information, see: <a href="https://amsprd0104.outlook.com/owa/redir.aspx?C=VWLdnkZJ2EWAR2Oh6NomX9SnFQSy8c4IaGrkRSgq-lMftkml_48MmGxsRFzInRyzCHppU3WTYTk.&URL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.history.ac.uk%2fevents%2fevent%2f3723" target="_blank">http://www.history.ac.uk/events/event/3723</a><br />_________________________________________________<br />Research training<br />Institute of Historical<br />Research: Explanatory Paradigms: An Introduction<br />to Historical Theory, Wednesdays 2 May - 4 July 2012, Course fee: £220, Course tutors: Prof John Tosh,<br />Dr John Seed, Prof Sally Alexander<br /><br />The aim of this short<br />course is to provide a critical introduction to some of the most influential<br />frameworks of explanation in historical work today. It is intended for those<br />beginning a research degree in history. The days are long past when a technical<br />orientation to source criticism was considered sufficient training for PhD/MPhil<br />students. Today most of the key controversies in historical scholarship turn on<br />the credibility of contrasting explanatory paradigms. Hence some familiarity in<br />this area is a prerequisite both for evaluating the secondary literature, and<br />for determining the direction of the research itself.<br /><br />In this course three<br />historians examine specific paradigms. John Seed considers the continuing<br />importance of Marxism, both in its classical materialist form and in its<br />rendition as ‘history from below’. He then examines the implications for history<br />of recent theories of ideology and discourse. Sally Alexander evaluates the<br />growing salience of psychoanalysis in historical enquiry. John Tosh assesses the<br />claims of gender not only to uncover new subject matter, but to provide a<br />powerful explanatory tool. John Seed returns to consider some of the theoretical<br />implications of narrative, through the work of Paul Ricoeur. In a concluding<br />session we will discuss how these theoretical positions have influenced our own<br />scholarly work. The course is organised as a term of ten weekly sessions to be<br />held in the IHR on Wednesday afternoons (5.30 - 7.30).<br /><br />For more information, see: <a href="https://amsprd0104.outlook.com/owa/redir.aspx?C=VWLdnkZJ2EWAR2Oh6NomX9SnFQSy8c4IaGrkRSgq-lMftkml_48MmGxsRFzInRyzCHppU3WTYTk.&URL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.history.ac.uk%2fresearch-training%2fcourses%2fhistorical-theory" target="_blank">http://www.history.ac.uk/research-training/courses/historical-theory</a><br />_________________________________________________<br />Workshop<br />Financing Archaeology: The Economic History of<br />Archaeology - perspectives of the past for the future, Wednesday 2 May 2012, 9.30 - 18:00,<br />UCL Institute of Archaeology, 31-34 Gordon Square,<br />London, WC1H 0PY.

By taking a long-range view of the ways in which archaeologists<br />have dealt with limited funding (particularly government funding) in the past,<br />the workshop will provide a historical background to current economic debates on<br />funding and archaeology, tying the historical context firmly to the modern day.<br />It also will also provide a platform for discussing public engagement in<br />archaeology, and the (economic) value of archaeology in a broader social and<br />political context.<br /><br />Speakers and titles<br />include:<br /><br />Rachael Sparks,<br />Publicising<br />Petrie<br />Sara Perry, Visual economies and the foundation of<br />the Institute of Archaeology (London)<br />Gabriel Moshenska,<br />Exchanging Mummies:<br />networks, finance and public display<br />David Clarke, Financing Heritage: Excavation,<br />Acquisition, Display and the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland in the late<br />19th<br />and early<br />20thcenturies<br />Chris Naunton,"...of universal, profound and very<br />touching interest.

He then examines the implications for history of recent theories of ideology and discourse. Sally Alexander evaluates the growing salience of psychoanalysis in historical enquiry. John Tosh assesses the claims of gender not only to uncover new subject matter, but to provide a powerful explanatory tool. John Seed returns to consider some of the theoretical implications of narrative, through the work of Paul Ricoeur. In a concluding session we will discuss how these theoretical positions have influenced our own scholarly work. The course is organised as a term of ten weekly sessions to be held in the IHR on Wednesday afternoons (5.30 - 7.30). </span></div> <div style="text-align:justify;margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:0;" align="left"><span style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><span lang="en-SG">For more information, see: </span></span><a href="https://amsprd0104.outlook.com/owa/redir.aspx?C=njbMcF6t2kiVC6GSqjJUjIpGfoXE3s4I_zgU4zfnu7qU-pPuS3ZVALOjzBDca482Ug7Cuq_2i4U.&URL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.history.ac.uk%2fresearch-training%2fcourses%2fhistorical-theory" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><span lang="en-SG">http://www.history.ac.uk/research-training/courses/historical-theory</span></span></a></span></div> </li></ul> <div style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:14pt;"><span lang="en-SG"><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;">_________________________________________________</span></span></div> <div style="text-align:justify;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;" align="left"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span lang="en-SG"><b><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;">Scholarships</span></b></span></span></div> <div style="text-align:justify;margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:0;" align="left"><span lang="en-SG"><br /> </span></div> <ul style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:14pt;"><li> <div style="text-align:justify;margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:0;" align="left"><span style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><u>Heidelberg University:</u></span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"> The Graduate Programme for Transcultural Studies of the Cluster of Excellence "Asia and Europe in a Global Context" at Heidelberg University welcomes applications for eight doctoral scholarships, subject to budgetary approval of the Cluster for the second funding period in the Excellence Initiative of the German central and state governments.

Previous books include The Roman Triumph, Classical Art from Greece to Rome and books on the Parthenon and the Colosseum as part of a series on wonders of the world. Her interests range from the social and cultural life of Ancient Greece and Rome to the Victorian understanding of antiquity. In addition Mary is Classics editor of the Time Literary Supplement and writes an engaging, often provocative, blog, A Don’s Life, a selection of which has been published in book form.

Specifically, it will address the leadership difficulties faced by governors of the individual southern states during the American Civil War (1861-1865). As heads of their respective state governments, Confederate governors were the public face of the war at home and, in some instances, abroad. They were the leaders who carried out the directives of the Confederate government, provided for their state’s defence, and mobilised and supplied soldiers for southern armies. These leaders were responsible for maintaining the Confederate war effort in their states, ensuring the public safety (including the suppression of slave unrest), and, as the war progressed, providing relief to their people. However, as this paper will show, these leaders were unable to lead their people effectively because of Confederate battlefield failures and, more indirectly, their support for the institution of slavery.</span></div> <div style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:14.17pt;"><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight:normal;">For more information, see: </span></span><a href="https://amsprd0104.outlook.com/owa/redir.aspx?C=SaHTRC7XgU-r4goCvEhI6GD_gudsz84IfteXRlUKVLPdeCkY5m5zUroUHQ4Mmt2zugqGqEo6bsE.&URL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.history.ac.uk%2fevents%2fevent%2f3723" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight:normal;">http://www.history.ac.uk/events/event/3723</span></span></a></div> </li></ul> <div style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:14pt;"><span lang="en-SG"><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;">_________________________________________________</span></span></div> <div style="text-align:justify;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;" align="left"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span lang="en-SG"><b><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;">Workshop</span></b></span></span></div> <div style="text-align:justify;margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:0;" align="left"><br /> </div> <ul style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:14pt;"><li> <div style="text-align:justify;margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:0;" align="left"><span style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><span lang="en-SG">Postgraduate Funding: Considering the Alternatives Workshop, Monday</span></span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"> 16th April 2012 - 6pm to 9pm, Room 151, Main Birkbeck Building, Malet Street.</span></span></div> <div style="text-align:justify;margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:0;" align="left"><span style="font-weight:normal;"> </span></div> <div style="text-align:justify;margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:0;" align="left"><span style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;">'Need extra funding?

From political theory to aesthetics, across the arts of war and of peace, to concepts of education, family, gender, race and slavery, it is hard to think of a facet of the last millennium which has not been informed by the ancient past and through a range of media, including museums, painting, poetry, film and the built environment. </span></span></div> <div style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:14pt;"><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><span lang="en">The Institute’s 81st Anglo-American conference seeks to represent the full extent of work on classical receptions, welcoming not only those scholars who work on Roman, Greek and Judaeo-Christian legacies and influences, but also historians of the ancient kingdoms and empires of Asia and pre-Colombian America. Our plenary lecturers include: Paul Cartledge (Cambridge), Constanze Güthenke (Princeton), Mark Lewis (Stanford), Sanjay Subrahmanyam (UCLA) and David Womersley (Oxford).</span></span></div> <div style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:14pt;"><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight:normal;" lang="en">For programme and registrations details, please visit </span></span><a href="https://amsprd0104.outlook.com/owa/redir.aspx?C=SaHTRC7XgU-r4goCvEhI6GD_gudsz84IfteXRlUKVLPdeCkY5m5zUroUHQ4Mmt2zugqGqEo6bsE.&URL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.history.ac.uk%2faach12" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight:normal;" lang="en">www.history.ac.uk/aach12</span></span></a><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><span lang="en"><b> </b></span></span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight:normal;" lang="en">or contact the IHR Events Office at </span></span><a href="https://amsprd0104.outlook.com/owa/redir.aspx?C=SaHTRC7XgU-r4goCvEhI6GD_gudsz84IfteXRlUKVLPdeCkY5m5zUroUHQ4Mmt2zugqGqEo6bsE.&URL=mailto%3aAncientsandModerns%40lon.ac.uk" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight:normal;" lang="en">AncientsandModerns@lon.ac.uk</span></span></a><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight:normal;" lang="en">, or contact us on 0207 862 8756. </span></span></div> </li></ul> <ul style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:14pt;"><li> <div style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:14pt;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><b><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;"><span style="font-weight:normal;">Psychoanalysis in the Age of Totalitarianism, 21 - 22 September 2012, Wellcome Collection Conference Centre, 183 Euston Road, London.

Currently, the collection includes more than 16,000 objects of ceramic art from Africa, the Americas, Europe, and Asia, dating from the Jomon period of Neolithic Japan to the present day. The collection reflects the centrality of ceramics to cultures</span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><br /> worldwide. It is central to the mission of the Museum to provide the public with a sense of the value and relevance of the artworks it houses.</span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><br /> </span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><br /> The primary purpose of hosting a ceramics symposium is to educate the public about the importance and relevance of ceramics both historically and today. By exploring universal themes that touch on core aspects of the human experience, the Museum hopes to engage current and future museum visitors by connecting ceramic art to people and their lives.</span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><br /> </span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><br /> Ceramics of all periods and cultures share a relationship with the human body. Whether utilitarian, ritualistic, decorative, or artistic in function, all ceramics interface with the human body in their design, manufacture, decoration, or use. Indeed, the very nomenclature used to describe a ceramic pot the lip, mouth, neck, shoulder, belly, and foot is derived from the human form. The symposium will explore the relationship between ceramics and the human body by considering the subject in a broad</span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><br /> array of historical and geographical contexts.</span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><br /> </span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><br /> The Museum welcomes a variety of papers that address the relationship between ceramics and the human form.

Radical historians such as Raphael Samuel and the History Workshop movement not only informed public discussion through historical research, but questioned current norms and structures and contributed to the reshaping of behaviours, ways of life and beliefs through their grass-roots activism. Moving away from top-down historical subject matter, they excavated hidden histories, driven by observation or experience of inequality to reveal and question power relations in the past and present, and to suggest how things could be in the future.</span></span></div> <div style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:14pt;"><span style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;">Are historians politically-minded nowadays? How many activist-academics are there today highlighting urgent contemporary political concerns through the focus of an historical lens? Is it that historians are engaging differently in political lobbying? What are the dangers and implications of historical research being applied wrongly for political campaigning? Is there a generational divide in which younger scholars are no longer radicalised or motivated by contemporary politics to incorporate it into polemical history-writing? Have all the social and political 'battles' been fought and won? Does the way historians are funded today constrict the type of history that is written? Are today’s historians interrogating their own investment in the histories they are telling? And if so, what questions are being asked and what methods are being used?</span></span></div> <div style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:14pt;"><span style="font-weight:normal;"><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;">This panel debate will focus on these questions and more as we ask what sort of role the historian can play in contemporary political debate.</span></span></div> <div style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:14pt;"><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight:normal;">For further information: </span></span><a href="https://amsprd0104.outlook.com/owa/redir.aspx?C=GZHI2IJqvECff5wDoKeiwJB7j0xOv84IBpyNpH3H4JK-_P-J-n9kNgkT6GG8KL4K4bVkz5pLkJo.&URL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.raphael-samuel.org.uk%2fevents%2fc_and_d.php" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight:normal;">http://www.raphael-samuel.org.uk/events/c_and_d.php</span></span></a><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight:normal;"> or contact </span></span><a href="https://amsprd0104.outlook.com/owa/redir.aspx?C=GZHI2IJqvECff5wDoKeiwJB7j0xOv84IBpyNpH3H4JK-_P-J-n9kNgkT6GG8KL4K4bVkz5pLkJo.&URL=mailto%3aclaremakepeace%40hotmail.com" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight:normal;">claremakepeace@hotmail.com</span></span></a><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight:normal;"> or </span></span><a href="https://amsprd0104.outlook.com/owa/redir.aspx?C=GZHI2IJqvECff5wDoKeiwJB7j0xOv84IBpyNpH3H4JK-_P-J-n9kNgkT6GG8KL4K4bVkz5pLkJo.&URL=mailto%3avictoriapowell1%40gmail.com" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight:normal;">victoriapowell1@gmail.com</span></span></a><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight:normal;">.</span></span></div> </li></ul> <div style="text-align:justify;margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:0;" align="left"><span style="font-weight:normal;"><br /></span></div> <div style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:14pt;"><span lang="en-SG"><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;">_________________________________________________</span></span></div> <div style="text-align:justify;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;" align="left"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span lang="en-SG"><b><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;">Museum Studies Day</span></b></span></span></div> <div style="text-align:justify;margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:0;" align="left"><br /></div> <ul style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:14pt;"><li> <div style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;">British Museum, Museum studies day, Monday 12 March 2012, 11.00–15.30,BP Lecture Theatre,£10</span></div> </li></ul> <ul style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:14pt;"><div style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:0;"> </div><div style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;">A day of talks by British Museum staff gives a behind-the-scenes insight into the running and organisation of the British Museum.

William Gibson, the pioneer of cyberpunk fiction, observed that “the idea of the Collectible is everywhere today.” Yet, if we are to believe one critical study of the subject, the cultural practice of collecting goes back to the mythical beginnings of humanity: “Noah was the first collector. Adam had given names to the animals, but it fell to Noah to collect them … And Noah, perhaps alone of all collectors, achieved the complete set.” (John Elsner and Roger Cardinal) A more recent collector, the Assyrian king Ashurbanipal (669-626 BCE) may not have had a complete set, but he did maintain a great library that held thousands of clay tablets. The Hellenistic Greeks and Romans collected books, statues, gems, etc. and created the first musea, those of Alexandria and Pergamon being the most prominent examples. They also wrote about collecting and were avid encyclopedists. Pliny the Elder’s </span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><i>Naturalis Historia </i></span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;">is the model for many later writings in the genre which includes Isidore of Seville’s </span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><i>Etymologiae </i></span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;">(ca. 630), the 10th Century Byzantine </span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><i>Suda</i></span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;">, and Vincent of Beauvais’ high medieval </span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><i>Speculum majus </i></span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;">(13th Century). The monastic libraries of the Middle Ages and their scriptoria copied and collected books and in doing so preserved the European heritage. Yet, it was the global commerce in knowledge, people, and objects during the age of discovery and exploration which aroused a passion for collecting as never before as princes, scientists, merchants, and artists all over Europe from Ferrante Imperato in Naples to Peter the Great in Russia competed in creating increasingly spectacular and luxurious studiolos, cabinets of curiosities, Wunderkammer, and Kunstkamers. Yet, the habit could be costly. King Charles I of England, a lavish spender and great collector of art, first lost his kingdom and then his life. Less than a decade later, the Dutch painter Rembrandt ran into debts and had to sell his house and his collections.</span></div> <div style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:0;"> </div> <div style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;">TACMRS provides an interdisciplinary forum for discussions and debates on collecting as a cultural practice and literary theme from Antiquity to the Renaissance and seeks to create dialogue between and across disciplines and periods. We encourage submissions with cross- cultural approaches, and on this premise welcome papers that reach beyond the traditional chronological and disciplinary borders of classical, medieval and Renaissance studies. Thus, in addition to the historical categories and thematic questions raised above, topics such as collecting practices East and West; the representation of ancient libraries, collectible objects or cultural treasures in modern literature and film; the cabinet of curiosities in modern art; and other topics that engage critically with the conference theme will be considered. </span></div> <div style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:0;"> </div> <div style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;">TACMRS welcomes papers on any other subjects that fall within the historical periods and disciplinary areas covered by the Association.</span></div> <div style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:0;"> </div> <div style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;">This conference is under the auspices of the Taiwan Association of Classical, Medieval, and Renaissance Studies and the Department of Foreign Languages and Literature of Tunghai University in Taichung, Taiwan.</span></div> <div style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:0;"> </div> <div style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;">Conference Location: Tunghai University; Taichung 40704, Taiwan</span></div> <div style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:0;"> </div> <div style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;">Conference Language: All papers are required to be written and presented in English.</span></div> <div style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:0;"> </div> <div style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;">Guidelines for Abstract Submission: The length of the abstract should be maximum 350 words.

What is the role of the individual, and how much influence can they have? While historians have long debated the meaning and implication of agency, events such as the Arab Spring, in which traditional structures are overturned by collective and individual action, gives the notion of agency fresh urgency. The study of agency, traditionally understood as the ability of the individual to act independently of political, social and cultural structures, has been dominated by social scientists such as Simmel, Elias, Bourdieu, and more recently, Anthony Giddens. With this in mind, the aim of the History Lab Conference 2012 is to investigate the relationships between agents and structures through the analysis of historical example. History Lab would like to bring together postgraduate students and early- career researchers to explore the significance of agency. Potential speakers are invited to submit proposals for papers, or panels of three speakers, on specific topics exploring agency or on wider methodological and philosophical issues.

What is the role of the individual, and how much influence can they have? While historians have long debated the meaning and implication of agency, events such as the Arab Spring, in which traditional structures are overturned by collective and individual action, gives the notion of agency fresh urgency. The study of agency, traditionally understood as the ability of the individual to act independently of political, social and cultural structures, has been dominated by social scientists such as Simmel, Elias, Bourdieu, and more recently, Anthony Giddens. With this in mind, the aim of the History Lab Conference 2012 is to investigate the relationships between agents and structures through the analysis of historical example. History Lab would like to bring together postgraduate students and early- career researchers to explore the significance of agency. Potential speakers are invited to submit proposals for papers, or panels of three speakers, on specific topics exploring agency or on wider methodological and philosophical issues. Papers may cover any historical region or period, exploring agency in topics including, but not limited to, the following areas. </span></div> </li><li> <div style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:14pt;"><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;">Religious lives </span></div> </li><li> <div style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:14pt;"><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;">Popular politics, protest and resistance</span></div> </li><li> <div style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:14pt;"><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;">Crown and estates</span></div> </li><li> <div style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:14pt;"><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;">Court culture</span></div> </li><li> <div style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:14pt;"><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;">Administration and bureaucracy</span></div> </li><li> <div style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:14pt;"><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;">Industry and urbanisation</span></div> </li><li> <div style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:14pt;"><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;">Rural lives</span></div> </li><li> <div style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:14pt;"><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;">The family</span></div> </li><li> <div style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:14pt;"><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;">Social mobility</span></div> </li><li> <div style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:14pt;"><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;">Cultural production</span></div> </li><li> <div style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:14pt;"><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;">Labour, business and industrial relations</span></div> </li><li> <div style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:14pt;"><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;">Policing, surveillance and the law</span></div> <div style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:14pt;"><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><b>Some travel bursaries will be available for research students travelling from the United States.

Fashion can simultaneously express</span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><br /> freedom and constriction, be both democratic and totalitarian; both repress</span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><br /> and liberate the body and gender roles. Transformation and affect are at</span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><br /> its heart. Fashion is a universal form of human expression that</span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><br /> transgresses boundaries of gender/race/class/embodiment/culture/nation.</span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><br /> Fashion ignites passions, produces colossal waste, demands ruthless</span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><br /> exclusion, inspires hysterical devotion.

Fashion is closely tied to industrial,</span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><br /> technological and economic developments and is at the center of cultural</span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><br /> activity and change. In today's globalized world, the fashion and textile</span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><br /> industry are key factors to understand the profound transformations</span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><br /> occurring in cities, nations and regions the world over.</span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><br /> </span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><br /> Underlying all the recent scholarly attention that has been given to</span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><br /> fashion is the intent of stripping it of its apparent light and frivolous</span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><br /> reputation, and replacing it with a serious scholarly investigation that</span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><br /> seeks to uncover the many complex layers that its surface conceals. The</span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><br /> study of fashion, costume and dress has involved a series of disciplines,</span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><br /> and has expanded their boundaries.</span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><br /> </span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><br /> Is fashion a women's issue? Inherently gendered, based on female bodily</span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><br /> display, taking fashion seriously demands exploring the limits of gender</span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><br /> and embodiment. Pushing that envelope reveals how fashion can question</span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><br /> pre-established notions of gender, aesthetics and behavior. How do we</span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><br /> understand masculinity in relation to dress and fashion? We invite</span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><br /> exploration of fashion, clothing and adornment through plays of androgyny,</span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><br /> from dandyism to lesbian chic. Seeing through clothes to the politics of</span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><br /> power they materialize draws fashion into debates concerning identity,</span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><br /> selfhood, sustainability, subjectivity, representation, and virtuality. How</span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><br /> does the fashioned body trouble the boundaries between lived and</span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><br /> represented, driving toward new phenomenological conceptions? How do the</span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><br /> globe spanning trends of fashion reshape experiences of self and locale,</span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><br /> and bring new relations of time and space? How has fashion in the</span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><br /> blogosphere affected technologies of self, and produced new relations</span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><br /> between bodies and city-scapes all over the world? How does fashion</span><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;"><br /> mediate the body?

More recently, the concept of the transnational has proved to be a productive way for art historians in the 21st century to reflect not only on contemporary art, but also that of previous centuries. This graduate conference will address the extent to which these two approaches overlap in British art between 1851 and 1960, not only in terms of British artists working abroad and non-British artists adopting Britain as a base, but also in less tangible or previously unconsidered ways. </span></div> <div style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;">Between 1851 and 1960, Britain’s global position altered radically – from the early consolidation of British imperial power in the mid-nineteenth century, through two world wars, the rise of the US to the reassessment of Britain’s political and cultural position in the post-war world, against a background of increasingly porous national and cultural boundaries. In this context, British art’s relationship with ‘the international’ seems a pertinent topic to consider, particularly from our own, increasingly ‘transnational’ perspective. ‘Transnational’ and ‘international’ are problematic terms here – the former reflects our own, more fluid concept of nationhood in the 21st century, while the latter offers a clearer definition of how nations were considered between 1851 and 1960. But is it possible to study British art of this period from our ‘transnational’ viewpoint? Can we talk of British art as separate from Britain as a nation or nationality? If British art between 1851 and 1960 cannot be considered ‘transnational’ in our terms, nor wholly ‘British’, how can it be considered in ‘international terms’? </span></div> <div style="margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-family:Liberation Serif,serif;font-size:130%;">We welcome papers from graduate students working in any field who engage with and reflect upon British art as international art.
