What is History Now?

Join us for a timely and important panel discussion exploring the question 'What is History Now?'

What stories are told and by whom, who should be celebrated, and what rewritten, is history being appropriated or misappropriated for political ends?

Based on the new collection What is History, Now? edited by Suzannah Lipscomb and Helen Carr, this event, features a number of the writers who have contributed seminal essays on themes ranging from racism , queer history, the history of faith, the history of disability, and environmental history.

Besides Suzannah and Helen, confirmed participants include:

Sarah Churchwell
Peter Frankopan
Dan Hicks
Charlotte Lydia Riley
Alex von Tunzelmann

Chaired by Professor Anna Whitelock, Department of International Politics
