This workshop explores the range of sources available for researching histories of gender, identity, and subjectivity. Researchers will explain the particular rewards and challenges posed by their primary sources when seeking to understand diverse questions, places, and time periods. The informal 10-minute papers will be followed by Q&A, and general discussion of the particular methodological or archival puzzles we face in our own work.

This workshop is designed particularly for undergraduate students thinking about developing a thesis project relating to gender, identity or subjectivity.

All very welcome! If you’d like to attend, email cgis@history.ox.ac.uk for the link to the seminar.
