We’d
like to invite all postgraduate history students in the North East to the first
event of the revived North East History Lab. The event will be an informal
afternoon workshop held at Northumbria University (Lipman Building, room 121)
on the 15th of February all about the ‘relevance’ of History, with
the aim of creating a network of postgraduate students in the North East for
debate, discussion and collaboration. The planned schedule is available below. In the interests of stimulating discussion we will be
posting regularly on our blog,
twitter
and facebook
in the build-up to the event and we encourage everyone to get in touch and let
us know what they think about the ‘relevance’ of history!
We
would kindly ask all interested in participating to send us a short email to historylab.northeast@gmail.com
to enable us to plan ahead.
