About this Event

This free public lecture celebrates the appointment of Professor Lucy Grig.

How can we understand the changes that took place in the transition from the classical to the medieval world? How did the complex processes of social, economic, cultural and religious change interrelate? Can we understand these processes as activated from the bottom up, as well as top down, and how did these forces interact? Did these changes take place on the same scale, at the same speed for different groups and individuals? This lecture explores the idea of slow history in two ways, in order to consider both the history of popular culture at a time of major change and also the process of writing history in today’s university.

The lecture will be followed by a drinks reception.
