Modern British History
Seminar or event series
The Modern British History seminar showcases new scholarship in the field, stretching from the 18th to the late 20th centuries and covering a range of approaches. We invite scholars at all career stages to present their work, including postgraduates from the Faculty approaching the completion of their doctorates.
The Seminar is grateful for the generous support provided by the Trevelyan Fund
