Exploring the history of history
About this Event
The study and teaching of history at Bristol began on the day the University College opened in 1876, when the first Professor of History gave the inaugural public lecture.
Join today's 21st century history department for a series of lightning lectures that share the story of the University over the last 150 years, and the ways its diverse communities have shaped the institution. With cutting-edge research, fascinating insights, and student-led work on the history of the University, this event demonstrates the very best of Bristol’s history research.
We’ll also be reflecting on the continuing importance of the study of history and humanities more broadly, in universities and within society at large.
Exploration Zone
You can also visit History at their interactive stand to discover more about research, partnerships and student initiatives, and to meet the people behind the work. You can find them at the Exploration Zone in the Arts Complex on the Clifton campus between 10 am and 12 pm.
