Material Culture Methodologies Workshop with Dr Kate Smith

Event date:

Tuesday 17 March 2020 to Wednesday 18 March 2020

Time:

15:00

The Material Culture in the 17th and 18th Centuries Research Cluster would like to invite you to take part in a workshop with Dr Kate Smith (University of Birmingham) on the 17th March.

The workshop is premised on object analysis and methodological approaches to material culture. There is a bit of advanced preparation, and an advanced reading, all to be found in the event information.

Although the cluster's interests fall primarily within the 17th and 18th centuries, the workshop is not limited to this time period and encourages wider contributions.
