This event will be a conversation with: Katy Hull (Assistant Professor of Modern History, University of Amsterdam), Susan Matt (Presidential Distinguished Professor of History, Weber State University), and Alaina Morgan (Assistant Professor of History, University of Southern California Dornsife). The event will be moderated by Jennifer Ratner-Rosenhagen (Merle Curti and Vilas-Borghesi Distinguished Achievement Professor of History, UW–Madison; IRH Senior Fellow, 2019-2023).
Intellectual history and the history of emotion both seek to historicize the worldviews of historical actors and yet the two subdisciplines are rarely in conversation with one another. Consequently, it is easy to get the impression that intellect is intellect and emotion is emotion and never the twain shall meet. This Burdick-Vary conversation brings together four U.S.-transnational historians who work at the intersection of intellectual history and the history of emotion to explore the generative possibilities and tensions when “head” and “heart” are better integrated in our interpretations of the past.
