*David Nash's guest Paranormal Media lecture examines how the phenomenon of witchcraft and its history has been portrayed in twentieth century history/historiography, in film and in other media.
This provides an object lesson in how an historical phenomenon gains purchase on the popular imagination allowing myth, reality and supposition to merge into a something that is real enough to create a wholly separate history of its own - the consumption of witchcraft.
David Nash is Professor of History at Oxford Brookes University. He has published widely on the history of atheism, blasphemy, religion, secularisation and aspects of crime history including shame and witchcraft. He also writes regularly for BBC History Magazine and History Today and is editor of the journal Cultural and Social History.
He has given expert advice on blasphemy to governments and agencies in Europe, the United States, Australia, Ireland and the United Kingdom. His latest book is (with Anne-Marie Kilday) Shame and Modernity (2016) with Palgrave Macmillan.
