The University’s magazine Campus Hallensis has published a short interview about the research project on nineteenth and twentieth century British and German diaries I’m currently working on together with Dr Pia Schmüser (Halle), Prof Dr Melani Schroeter and Clara Llyod (both Reading).
More information about the binational, interdisciplinary project titled Between Voice and Silence: Communicative Norms in Diaries, 1840-1990, which is funded by the Leverhulme Trust, can be found here.
The interview highlights the importance of diaries as sources for social history as well as the invaluable resource of the Tagebucharchiv Emmendingen. The text, which also addresses another project being developed in Halle’s History Department, can be found here.
Many thanks to Ines Godazgar for taking an interest.
