1-Day Exploratory Workshop: Material Culture in Global History
Co-hosted by the Oxford Centre for Global History and the Oxford Centre for the History of Science, Medicine, and Technology

This workshop will bring together historians from across the Humanities and GLAM who share an interest in the global history of material culture. We approach “global history” broadly, and the workshop is dedicated to showcasing the great diversity of research we do and to share our approaches to material culture. We hope to facilitate connections and conversations across historical periods, geographic locations, and methods, and think more about future collaborations and activities.
