Love 2017
The theme for the 2017 SHAPS Public Lecture Series was “Love”. This was part of a broader series of events on this theme, in particular, the ARC Centre for the History of Emotions’ flagship collaborative exhibition, Love: Art of Emotion 1400-1820 at the National Gallery Victoria
Each of the School’s five disciplines presented a lecture in the series, approaching the theme of love from a range of perspectives. Together they offer a kaleidoscopic view on the diversity and richness of human experiences and understandings of love across time and space.
