ANU School of Literature, Languages & Linguistics presents a 1.5-hour HDR workshop on “Working with Historical Sources on Gender and Sexuality” with visiting scholar Associate Professor Katerina Liskova from Masaryk University in the Czech Republic. Associate Professor Liskova is at ANU for two weeks as a visiting fellow with the Research School of Humanities and the Arts; her research focuses on gender, sexuality and expertise under state socialism. This workshop will be particularly well suited to HDR scholars working in History, Sociology, and Gender Studies on themes broadly related to gender and sexuality. It will give participants an opportunity to discuss their work in relation to a small selection of theoretical readings with other scholars working across several disciplines in CASS. Please register your intention to attend via Eventbrite in order to be sent the required readings for this workshop.
