About This Event

Join the Museum of the Order of St John for an insightful afternoon where University of Leicester placement students will share their summer research. Their talk, aptly titled 'Talk and Tea: Exploring Identity through Uniform and Photographs', promises a fascinating exploration into how seemingly simple objects can unlock deeper understandings of personal and collective identity. The students have been working closely with the museum's diverse collections, and their presentation will highlight their findings on the significance of uniforms and historical photographs. Discover how these visual and material records can offer compelling insights into the lives, roles, and self-perceptions of individuals and groups throughout history. This is a unique opportunity to learn from emerging researchers and engage with the museum's treasures in a new light. The event is free to attend and takes place on Thursday 10 September, commencing at 12:30pm, at the Museum of the Order of St John in London.
