Women's Committee Online Workshop 2021 - Economic History Society

Date / time
20/11/2021, 10:00 am - 4:45 pm

This online workshop will explore several themes around interdisciplinarity. In particular it will look at issues such as working as a historian outside of a History department, how historians have approached adopting theories and methodologies from other disciplines, and what it is like for those from another discipline to work with historians.

We are grateful to our speakers for sharing their lived experiences around these themes. They will each give a talk/presentation from their own perspective, but most of the time will be given for Q&A and discussion. This workshop is therefore is designed to be informative, but mostly interactive and supportive.

We hope you can join us and share your own experiences.

Please note that the ‘room’ will be open all day for networking purposes.

If you have any questions, please email Sheryllynne Haggerty.
