Research Announcement
An overview of our project was published on the German Visual History 'online reference resource'. Read the announcement here.
Extract: In our project, Picture Me, we engage with a burgeoning interest in queer Finnish history and with scholarship from the German tradition of visual history to consolidate a new research field called queer visual history. Each researcher in the project is working with a particular archival record, or records, associated with Finnish historical figures that are alleged to have lived queer lives.
