Hello,

The enclosed conference programme might be of interest to people who work in museums and archives as it looks at ways of democratising history and reflects on the various agents in history-making. Maybe it is something that you want to circulate amongst your members.

Best wishes,

Kathrin

Subject: Register now: Legacies and Futures conference

Dear friend /colleague

I am attaching details of the Legacies and Futures conference to be held at Ruskin on Saturday September 19th. Registration is now open.

This conference coincides with the political research fellowship being funded by the Barry Amiel and Norman Melburn Trust. Kynan Gentry, the research fellow, is working on the History Workshop archive at Ruskin. The conference will reflect on the legacies of the History Workshop movement and will consider radical practice now and for the future.

Can you please circulate to your networks - and register now if you are interested in coming?

Apologies for any cross-posting.

Best wishes

Hilda
