DESCRIPTION:The spring of 1915 ushered in a new era of warfare as the comb
 ination of poison gas and air power threatened mass devastation far beyond
  a narrow front line. It also created a new thing for soldiers to carry--t
 he gas mask--a device designed to protect individuals from this terrifying
  new weaponry. The gas mask did not remain on the battlefield after that w
 ar’s end\; by the eve of the next world war\, states were lining up thei
 r civilians to provide them with these objects\, not only to protect their
  bodies but also to manage their emotions and behaviour. Using Britain and
  its empire as its central case study\, this talk explores how centering a
 n object—the civilian gas mask—may help elucidate our understanding of
  bodies\, emotions\, and total war.\n\nRegister "here":https://wolfson-cam
