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

as well as scholars from University of Delaware faculty, students, and

Conference, "Sound in the Era of Mechanical Reproduction”
Organizers solicited proposals that explored the integration of sound with the commercial practices of music and radio. Papers cover topics such as the creation of hi-fidelity sound to meet the expectations of radio and music listeners; business strategies of firms ranging from international music conglomerates to jukebox companies and local radio stations; and the development of communities organized around consumption of sound, whether jazz collectors, citizen band radio users, or music enthusiasts distributing bootleg cassettes. There is no fee to register but there are charges for food. To register or obtain more information, contact Carol Lockman at (302) 658-2500, ext. 243, or send an e-mail to clockman@hagley.org.
