“Be the Expert!” Workshop on Gender, Violence, and Visual History
Tuesday, 17 November 2026, 4:00-5:00 pm CET
We were struck by the level of interest in the topic of Gender, Violence, and Visual History, as well as by how many early career scholars work with visual sources and engage with similar questions. We’d therefore like to continue the discussion and create a space for exchanging ideas and experiences.
With our new format, “Be the Expert!”, we want to bring early career scholars together for a 60-minute discussion among peers, adopting a more hands-on, workshop-style approach. Several ECRs have already expressed interest in taking part and sharing insights into their own research. We’re still looking for others who would like to join us!
If you would like to talk a little about your own experiences with visual sources and the opportunities and difficulties you encountered when working with them, then do get in touch. The session will be an informal, one-hour workshop, with three-minute lightning presentations and joint discussion. It is aimed towards those who work with visual sources as well as those who are just starting out or are interested in finding out more.
We look forward to hearing from you at mkgd.forschungsverbund@gmail.com and a.gehl@fu-berlin.de!
Anna, Jan and the team from the Early Career Initiative
