Harriet is looking forward to giving a paper at the Social History Society conference, to be held from 29th June to 1st July 2020 at Lancaster University. The Society’s conference is the largest gathering of social and cultural historians in the UK.

The conference programme will be organised into eight thematic strands, ranging across time and space, from the (pre)medieval to the present. Harriet will give her paper entitled “Exhibitions as political ‘demonstrations’? The Artists International Association and expressions of solidarity during World War Two in Britain” on Monday 29th June at 3.30pm in the strand on ‘Welfare, Humanitarianism and Social Action’ within a session entitled ‘Community and Campaigning in the City’.

Harriet is delighted to be speaking at the 12th International Committee for Design History and Design Studies conference, held in October 2020 in Zagreb. The conference theme is “Lessons to Learn? Past Design Experiences and Contemporary Design Practices” and the conference venue will be HUB385, one of the biggest coworking spaces in Croatia.

Harriet’s paper is entitled “Exhibitions as political ‘demonstrations’? Artists International Association’s For Liberty exhibition, London 1943″. It will be published in the conference proceedings.
