Book Launch: The History Manifesto

A public lecture from the British Government @ LSE, to launch 'The History Manifesto' by Dr Jo Guldi and Professor David Armitage.

Wednesday 08 October 2014
6:30pm - 8pm
Old Theatre, Old Building

How should historians speak truth to power - and why does it matter? Why is five hundred years better than five months or five years as a planning horizon? And why is history - especially long-term history - so essential to understanding the multiple pasts which gave rise to our conflicted present? The History Manifesto is a ‘call to arms’ to historians and everyone interested in the role of history in contemporary society.

 

This event is free and open to all with no ticket or pre-registration required.
