Nights for Monday 24 June 2019

 

7:12 Gendering History

We talk to Kit Heyam, a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Plymouth, about the project ‘Gendering Interpretations of the Collections of the V&A and Vasa Museums’.

This collaboration between the University of Plymouth and Victoria & Albert Museum (V&A) in the UK, and Lund University and Vasamuseet in Sweden is investigating the multiple hidden connections to gender behind museum objects. These might be connections to individuals - but just as importantly, they might also be about groups of people whose name has been lost to history.

But now measles is on the rise again, and Ukraine is worst-hit. More than 100,000 people have caught the disease since 2017, and 15 have died already this year.
