The Department of Library ¸£ÀûÔÚÏßÃâ·Ñ & Archive Sciences and the Department of History of the University of Malta, the Malta Study Center at HMML (USA), the National Archives of Malta and the Istituto Italiano di Cultura, Valletta are please to host two public lectures offered by Dr Ilaria Scaglia email, Senior Lecturer of Modern History at Aston University in Birmingham, UK. Her main fields of interest include the history of internationalism and the history of emotions. She has recently published a monograph: The Emotions of Internationalism: Feeling International Cooperation in the Alps in the Interwar Period (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2020). Her previous publications dealt with the interplay of art and performative politics, nation branding and international cooperation, and the moral economy of internationalism. Dr Scaglia is now working on a new project, a transnational history of the emotions of archives and historical research, which focuses on how technology—and the practice of reproducing documents—changed the archival experience in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
