EIHS Workshop: Expectant Bodies: Gender, Textuality, Sovereignty

Friday, March 23, 2018
12:00-2:00 PM
1014 Tisch Hall Map
This panel takes up “expectation” as both a structure of being in and knowing the world, and as a methodological condition of producing historical knowledge. Stretching from twelfth-century England to late eighteenth-century St. Petersburg, these papers ask: how did gender and sexuality shape what medieval and early modern people expected of each other? How do scholarly expectations shape the stories we tell? Featuring:

Hayley Bowman (PhD Student, History, University of Michigan)
Joseph Gamble (PhD Student; Women's Studies, English; University of Michigan)
Nicholas Holterman (Graduate Student, Romance Languages and Literatures, University of Michigan)
William Holden (PhD Student, History, University of Michigan)
Ruth Mazo Karras (commentator; Distinguished Teaching Professor of History, University of Minnesota)
Katherine French (chair; J. Frederick Hoffman Professor of History, University of Michigan)

Free and open to the public. Lunch provided.

This event is part of the Friday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.
