HEX Handbook Distinguished Lecture: Friends among the dead: how to write about experience in historical research

In 2023 Tampere University awarded Digital Handbook of the History of Experience with “the science act of the year” prize. To celebrate the award HEX Handbook editorial team has invited Dr Tiffany Watt Smith, one of the most prominent scholars in the field of history of experience studies, to give an open lecture at Tampere University.

Dr Smith´s talk, Friends Among the Dead: How to Write About Experience in Historical Research, explores, what does it mean to write a history of twentieth-century women’s friendships, not only as they were thought about and legislated against, but as they were experienced.

The event will take place on Tuesday 5 November starting at 14.00 at Tampere University´s main building, room A4. The HEX Handbook team would like to welcome all to join this exciting and intriguing lecture over a glass of sparkling. To join the event, please register by Friday 1 November.
