Annual workshop

Details for our annual workshop have now been announced. They are as follows.

Women’s Studies Group Annual Workshop: Sunday 18^th May 2025, at the Foundling Museum, London, WC1N 1AZ Registration 11 a.m; event ends at 4.30 p.m.

Meeting and Greeting in (im)Polite Society Keynote by Professor Penelope Corfield: ‘Female Salutations in Britain in the Long Eighteenth Century: Deep Curtseying, Bobbing, Kissing … and Shaking Hands’.

Keynote Abstract: Greetings are dynamic. They can be given politely or rudely. They also change significantly over time. So women, when giving or receiving salutations, have to stay alert and make choices – as Penelope Corfield explains in her keynote lecture, focusing upon Britain in the long eighteenth century.
