DESCRIPTION:The narrative of Scott's Terra Nova Expedition has been repeat
 edly reworked and mythologised throughout the past century into several st
 arkly different forms. From the ‘tragic heroism’ of the long 19th Cent
 ury to the cynical revisionism of the 1980s\, the story has been shaped to
  fit into a variety of archetypes. However\, these reductions of a multifa
 ceted story into a simple\, single-focus narrative often misses the granul
 ar emotional experience of the individuals directly involved with this exp
 edition\, through which the course of events is best understood. The exped
 ition is\, fundamentally\, its people.  This talk will untangle the layers
  of culturally-informed legacy building to reveal the nuanced human beings
  whose personalities\, histories\, and psychology influenced both the expe
 dition’s events and outcomes\, and the publications that committed them 
 to historical record. The zoom link will be sent closer via email closer t
 o the date.
