Workshop 2: Wireless: Oliver Lodge, Science, & Spiritualism
Oliver Lodge’s work in telecommunications arose from his
life-long interest in the ether. This workshop explores Lodge’s
impact on late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century telecommunications,
particularly wireless telegraphy and radio, but situates this alongside his
interest in more esoteric etheric phenomena. Studying
Lodge’s spiritualism provides a new way of understanding his physics, but also
a way of approaching broader communication networks, occult or otherwise, of
the period.
This one-day workshop features papers by Peter Bowler,
Elizabeth Bruton, Christine Ferguson, David Hendy, Richard Noakes, and J.
Patrick Wilson.
Registration is free but places are limited. To
register, email oliverlodgenetwork@gmail.com giving
