Full Description:: Secondary School History Teachers Workshop (UQ Node, ARC Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions & School of History, Philosophy, Classics and Religion):
EMOTIONAL LANDSCAPES: ENGLISH AND IRISH BATTLEFIELD MEMORIALS TO SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY CONFLICTS
Presented by
DR DOLLY MACKINNON (UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND)
DR DIANNE HALL (VICTORIA UNIVERSITY)
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
In the twenty-first century both the young and the old make pilgrimages to battlefield sites around the globe. These are highly emotional places and spaces in which emotion plays a central part, and which have a long tradition in history. The Battlefield monuments erected to seventeenth-century conflicts continue to prompt intense emotional responses today. This roundtable event explores how the emotions, as they were understood in the seventeenth century, as well as how they are perceived today, shapes national histories in the 21st century. Secondary History Teachers from across Queensland are invited to join us for two lively papers from international experts in the field, culminating in an open discussion about practical ways to demonstrate how this knowledge about emotions and battlefield memorials is relevant to students today.
CPD certification of participation will be provided to all attendees. Please join the speakers for a reception following the workshop.
