Histories of Gender, Families and Children: what do we still want to know? Other events...
A public lecture by Stephanie Tarbin, School of Humanities and ARC Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions, UWA.

The lives of medieval people are far in the past and were often unrecorded. Nonetheless, in recent decades, gender and social historians have made enormous contributions to our understanding of the quotidian experiences and mentalities of the children, women and men of the pre-modern period. Reading conventional sources 'against the grain' has enabled feminist scholars to explore women's agency and self-perception, while combining legal records with personal accounts allows us to better understand how children acted in and viewed their social worlds. The recent 'emotional turn' in history has re-posed long debated questions about affective relations within families and households, offering fresh frameworks for assessing the emotional lives of ordinary people.

This lecture is part of the 'What's new in the Medieval?' Lecture Series, presented by the Institute of Advanced Studies and the ARC Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions.
