CfP - Material Literacy in the Age of the Global Turn
Join us for a workshop on 19-20 June 2025 at the University of Warwick. Organized by GHCC's Anne Gerritsen and Giorgio Riello, this workshop will foster a conversation between a small group of material culture history experts and curators and a larger group of PhD students and early career researchers on how to develop skills suitable for the understanding of and working with objects as sources for historical research and teaching. Deadline for abstract submission is May 18, 2025.
Congratulations to Dr Jack Bowman!
Dr Jack Bowman's 'The Early Political Thought and Publishing Career of V. K. Krishna Menon, 1928-1938' has recently been selected as one of two articles to be 'Highly Commended' in the Historical Journal's inaugural Early Careers Researcher Article Prize. Their article follows Indian Independence activist V. K. Krishna Menon, later India's defence minister and United Nations delegate, through his formative years in Britain as an editor. A book history of anti-colonial print, the article ties together histories of political thought, interwar internationalism, and global anti-colonial networks, to argue that twentieth-century anti-colonialism can be fruitfully engaged via the lens of book history. Their article is available open access and can be read hereLink opens in a new window
