History
Workshop in Technology, Society, and Culture
The
HISTORY WORKSHOP in Technology, Society and Culture brings together History
Department faculty and graduate students with scholars from across the discipline
for discussion of their research. Every Tuesday at 12:15, we gather in 203
Munroe for a brown-bag lunch and a talk that begins promptly at 12:30. The
final half- hour of the Workshop is devoted to discussion. The Workshop
has been a regular part of History Department life for thirty years now,
and provides singular opportunities for intellectual conversation and exchange
of ideas. In 2004, the Workshop marked the 50th Anniversary of the Hagley
Program with a series devoted to talks by Hagley alumni.
In recent years, audiences at History Workshop have heard from such
speakers as:
Mia Bay, Rutgers University
David H. Bell, Johns Hopkins University
Jane Caplan, Bryn Mawr College
Patricia Cline Cohen, University of California at Santa Barbara
Alice Conklin, Ohio State University

a regular part of your Tuesday activities.

Hagley Fellows Conferene sponsored by the Hagley Fellows of the University of Delaware
On Saturday April 9, 2011, the Hagley Museum and Library hosted, “Disaster! A Conference on Disasters in History,” a conference sponsored by the Hagley Fellows of the University of Delaware.
The conference brings scholars and the public together to examine disasters of all kinds as a topic of research and as a contested historiographical field. Scholars will demonstrate the ways in which disasters have shaped societies, cultures and environments since 1700. Papers explore how disasters inform the histories of business, technology, consumption, the environment, work, and everyday life.
Michael Adas, Abraham E. Voorhees Professor of History and Board of Governors' Chair at Rutgers University, delivered the keynote address. A schedule of presenters and additional details are available at http://www.udel.edu/hagley/fellowsconference.

University of Delaware-Hagley Fellows UnConference
On October 5, 2012 the Hagley Graduate Fellows of the History Department at the University of Delaware invite members of the UD graduate student community to join together in an interdisciplinary "unconference" on the role of sensory perception in the human experience.
What is an unconference? The format for this even is an a free-floating, intereactive conversation circle, for the purpose of providing graduate students wi intellectual stimulation and scholarly networks across disciplines of the UD campus. There will be neither a rigid time frame nor any presenters. Rather, all the participants are expected to bring informal curiosity and an eagerness to explore new perspectives.
