"It seems to me that you represent your husband now": women's work during the British Antarctic Expedition, 1910-1913, a talk by SPRI PhD Candidate Deb Wood
Deb’s work focuses on the emotional histories of the twelve families who lost loved ones during British Antarctic Expeditions in the early 20th Century, and the unique roles that these families played in shaping and preserving their loved one’s legacy.
To celebrate International Women’s Day, this talk will dive into the influential practical and emotional work that Kathleen Scott and Oriana Wilson undertook during their husbands’ absences with the 'Terra Nova' expedition, and how the work of these remarkable women has shaped the legacy of British Antarctic research not only in their own time, but also for generations to come.
Deb will be giving a 30 minute talk, aimed at a non-academic audience, followed by time for questions and conversation. Space is limited, please reserve a ticket using the link above.
