ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
The Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions (CHE) invites prospective honours and postgraduate students to a two-day workshop to discuss the possibility of locating your studies in our Centre, and to showcase the support we can offer senior students.
The national Centre is led by The University of Western Australia, and has nodes at the Universities of Queensland, Sydney, Adelaide and Melbourne. Representatives from all five universities will be taking part in this workshop. Our Centre’s primary historical focus is the period 1100-1800, though one of our research programs extends forward into contemporary culture, especially in an Australian context. Our researchers are drawn from literary, historical, art historical, music, and performance studies. The Centre is funded from 2011 to mid-2018, and has recently received a ringing endorsement from the Australian Research Council in its mid-term review. One of our key platforms is the development and encouragement of collaborative research projects and active research communities, and we are keen to encourage honours and graduate students to work with us in this internationally burgeoning scholarly field, and to contribute to our vibrant national network.
This workshop will include a video presentation from the Centre’s Director, and talks from other research leaders, current graduate students, and postdoctoral research fellows. We will sketch out some of our central research questions and projects, open up some of our key methodological problems, and suggest some practical ways you might wish to orient your own research projects around the study of the History of Emotions, in order to benefit from the intellectual support of this national Centre. For more information on benefits offered to CHE postgraduate and honours students see our Future Students section of the website.
