“Disaster! A Conference on Disasters in History”
Hagley Fellows Conference
Saturday April 9, 2011
Hagley Museum and Library
Wilmington, Delaware
On Saturday April 9, 2011, the Hagley Museum and Library will host, “Disaster! A Conference on Disasters in History,” a conference sponsored by the Hagley Fellows of the University of Delaware.
The conference will bring scholars and the public together to examine disasters of all kinds as a topic of research and as a contested historiographical field. Scholars will demonstrate the ways in which disasters have shaped societies, cultures and environments since 1700. Papers explore how disasters inform the histories of business, technology, consumption, the environment, work, and everyday life.
Michael Adas, Abraham E. Voorhees Professor of History and Board of Governors' Chair at Rutgers University, will be delivering the keynote address. A schedule of presenters and additional details are available at http://www.udel.edu/hagley/fellowsconference.
The conference is free but you must register before April 1. Attendees may also purchase lunch. You can register by contacting Carol Lockman in Hagley's Center for Business, Technology, and Society at 302-658-2400, ext. 243 or clockman@hagley.org.
