Professor Simeon Koole will give a lunchtime talk on his recent book, .
°´Ç´Ç±ô±ð’s Intimate Subjects examines how the understanding, experience, and practice of touch changed in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Britain. Following often ordinary encounters between individuals across different spaces, from fog-bound streets to basement teashops, the book shows how changes in touch reshaped broader concepts, such as personal space, disability, and the relationship between the mind and body.
