Science/Tech, Political Economy, Late Victorian Period
Hi Everyone,
I am a PhD Candidate in History at UCLA and my dissertation examines how resistance to technoscientific development in late nineteenth-century Britain was interpreted through the afterlives of Luddism/the Luddites. I am interested in presenting a paper on how newspapers, popular histories, dictionaries, and satirical verse mobilized the figure of the “Luddite” to diagnose and discipline technoscientific dissent during the Late Victorian period.
I am writing to see if anyone would like to organize a panel along the lines of science/tech, political economy, or the Late Victorian Period. I would be very happy to join a panel if you think my paper would be suitable. I am very open to different panel framings!
If this overlaps with your work or you are assembling something along these lines, please feel free to reach out. I would love to chat!
