The 20s30sNetwork brings together scholars from across disciplines around our shared interests in British society, culture, and politics in the 1920s and 1930s. By creating a conversation between people working in history, literary studies, cultural studies, geography, and the histories of art, architecture, media, design, and film, our aim is to explore new ways of thinking about the historical significance of these two decades.

The 20s30s Network presents a two-day workshop on Friday 5th and Saturday 6th May 2017 which will explore the theme of 'Display'.

On Friday afternoon the session will begin at the Boots site, in nearby Beeston, with a tour of the D10 Wets Factory. This will be followed by a workshop on material from the Boots Company Archive. 

On Saturday there will be a full day of papers and discusson at the University of Nottingham, room B46, Trent Building. 

This workshop is by invitation only. For more information, please contact Richard Hornsey.
