517. The Old Nineteenth Century, 12:00 PM–1:15 PM Jan 11, 2020, WSCC – 612
Panelists explore the topic of aging to develop intersectional ways of thinking about gender, periodization, and critical practice as they relate to the construction of the “nineteenth century” or “the Victorian” as a field. How does the “old” nineteenth century generate new methods and objects of inquiry?
