The History Society is an organisation run by and for History students at Oxford Brookes University. Each year, the Society's Lecture Series hosts leading scholars from around the world who deliver papers which explore the historical roots of big issues that shape our world today. Each speaker approaches their subject from different disciplinary, temporal, and geographical perspectives. All of them, however, use a historical lens to illuminate uncovered aspects of problems that we grapple with in the modern world, touching on topics from politics to race, empire to technology, and health to gender.
