From Boxes to Book: Archival Research and Publication

Dr. John Harney, author of Dreams of a Young Republic: The American Vincentians in China, will hold a special session for students to discuss the role of archival materials in the research process and in final publication. Materials in Special Collections and Archives inspired his research.
Light refreshments will be provided.

Dr. Harney's interests include identity formation and colonial and post-colonial relations in East Asia, the history of popular participation in sports in the modern era, Catholicism and Catholic communities in 20th-century China, representations of history in video games, and the wider uses and interpretations of history in popular culture.
