The ‘Event’ in the Long Nineteenth Century—BAVS/NAVSA Flightless conference in Belfast
Queen's University Belfast
Sep 12, 12:00 am–Sep 13, 12:00 am
The Minerals team was delighted to attend and present at the BAVS/NAVSA flightless conference organised by Justin Livingston and Alex Murray at Queen’s University Belfast in September. We were able to share new research emerging out of recent archival visits to Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.
Dr Sarah Comyn and Dr Ge Tang presented on a panel investigating the global colour line as ‘event’, with Comyn presenting on her recent work on illicit diamond buyers in late nineteenth-century fiction, while Tang presented on a series of photographs depicting Chinese labourers arriving on the goldfields of South Africa.
The project’s PhD candidate, Katie Donnelly, presented on her new research on the depiction of women’s labour on the goldfields of Australia and New Zealand in children’s literature.
