Esperanto Wor(l)ds and Girls: The Early Days of a Constructed Language ft. Dr. Bernhard Struck and Dr. Guilherme Fians

Esperant...huh? Who's Zamenhof? What's Esperanto? You're telling me people in Dundee, Scotland were speaking this constructed language in 1910? Yes, and that's what Esperanto Wor(l)ds: Scotland, Postcards, and the Creation of an International Language, on display at the Wardlaw Museum until 29 May 2023, is all about! Joined by the Founding Director of the St Andrews Institute for Transnational & Spatial History and Reader in the School of History, Dr. Bernhard Struck, and Leverhulme Research Fellow in the School of History, Dr. Guilherme Fians, we discuss where scholarship on Esperanto is headed, how we decided to do this exhibition (none of us had any prior experience in historical curation), how we executed it, and, 11 days into the exhibition being on display, how it has been received by the St Andrews community.
