Carolyn Harris to discuss Queen Henrietta Maria and Queen Marie Antoinette at the Queen’s University Three Minute Thesis Competition: Thursday April 19, 3:30pm

For those of you who will be in Kingston, Ontario next week, I will be discussing my PhD dissertation on Queen Henrietta Maria of England and Queen Marie Antoinette of France as part of the Queen’s University three minute thesis competition in the Biosciences Building Rm 1101 at 3:30pm on Thursday April 19. The format of the competition is for each participant to distill their research and its wider implications into a three minute talk. I hope to provide the essence how negative perceptions of Queen Henrietta Maria and Queen Marie Antoinette as wives, mothers and heads of royal households undermined monarchical government prior to the English Civil Wars and French Revolution.
