Does your research address the intersection between law, history, culture and the emotions? Would you like to gain a greater understanding of the major issues researchers in this field encounter?
The Postgraduate Advanced Training Seminar (PATS), run by the Adelaide node of the ARC Centre for the History of Emotions (CHE) at The University of Sydney, will bring established scholars in this field together with postgraduates to define and address these issues.
The PATS will consist of four short workshops. Each workshop will focus on an issue of interest or concern to scholars working in this interdisciplinary arena. Leading international and Australian scholars will facilitate the workshops, and students will have the opportunity to discuss their own research.
The interdisciplinary (history, history of emotions, literature, culture, law and legal history, the humanities) breadth of this PATS is intended to allow students from all disciplines to encounter issues that transcend the disciplines and to situate their own research in the interdisciplinary context.
