  • Method & Meaning Workshop, 31 March-1 April 2006
    Carla Ivey, for grad, 2006/03/02 15:19:44

    As part of the Carnegie Initiative, the second- year graduate students in the Department of History have organized a two-day event on 31 March and April 1, 2006: METHOD & MEANING: A WORKSHOP IN HISTORICAL APPROACH AND INTERPRETATION The purpose of the workshop is to bring together scholars and graduate students to interrogate the relationship between method and meaning in historical inquiry. We have invited participants to discuss their current research while addressing this central question. Although we aim to engage scholars who practice a wide variety of approaches, we are particularly interested in centering the workshop on those historical fields and approaches that are 1) untraditional, or 2) have experienced a recent revival and/or re-imagining in recent years. In six different panels, our participants will explore the problems and possibilities of studying visual culture, religious experience, biography, environmental history, premodern sexualities, and transnationalism. All panels will convene in the Boyd Seminar Room. Scheduling details have yet to be confirmed, but will follow soon. Our panels and panelists thus far include: UNDERSTANDING VISUAL CULTURE Peter Wood, Department of History, Duke University John Thompson, Department of History, Duke University Patricia Leighten, Department of Art History, Duke University Katharine French-Fuller, Department of History, Duke University WRITING ABOUT RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE Thomas Robischeaux, Department of History, Duke University Susan Thorne, Department of History, Duke University Jenny Wood Crowley, Department of History, Duke University Jacob Remes, Department of History, Duke University WRITING BIOGRAPHY Gerda Lerner, Department of History, Duke University Alex Roland, Department of History, Duke University Yvonne Wallace-Fuentes, Department of History, Duke University CENTERING NATURE: HUMANS, HISTORY AND THE ENVIRONMENT John Richards, Department of History, Duke University Matthew Booker, Department of History, North Carolina State University Kristin Wintersteen, Department of History, Duke University INTERPRETING PREMODERN SEXUALITIES: CATEGORIES, REPRESENTATIONS AND PRACTICES Marc Schacter, Department of Romance Studies, Duke University Christina Ramos, Department of History, Duke University Maren Wood, Department of History, UNC Chapel Hill MAPPING THE TRANSNATIONAL Sucheta Mazumdar, Department of History, Duke University Janet Ewald, Department of History, Duke University Eric Weber, Department of History, Duke University We hope to see you at the workshop!
