The third annual Using Lives workshop is being held at the National Museum of Australia, 8-12 September 2008. This workshop draws postgraduate students from around Australia who are working in areas broadly related to biography and life history/writing. The objective is to explore the potentials of these fields and enhance research opportunities and experience.
Convened by Nicholas Brown of the Centre for Historical Research, and run in association with the Humanities Research Centre, the Australian Dictionary of Biography and the History Program, Research School of Social Sciences, Australian National University, the workshop particularly seeks to extend the awareness of material culture in exploring biography.
Michelle Hetherington, Sophie Jensen, Amanda Reynolds and Peter Stanley are among the National Museum of Australia staff contributing to the program. All Museum staff are invited to attend. Your participation in the afternoon sessions, in which students present their own work, would be especially valuable.
