Social and Cultural History: The Contribution of British Eighteenth-Century History to Historical Practice

What is social and cultural history for eighteenth-century British historians and how has this contributed to the discipline more broadly? This event is organised by the Birmingham Research Institute for History and Cultures (BRIHC). 

(Hybrid event)

Speakers: 

• Professor Margot Finn (UCL)
• Dr Sarah Fox (University of Birmingham)
• Professor Sasha Handley (University of Manchester)
• Professor Karen Harvey (University of Birmingham)
• Dr Ben Jackson (University of Birmingham)

 In this roundtable event, that question will form the starting-point for a wide-ranging conversation on eighteenth-century British historiography and its impacts on social and cultural history. The panel will address the changing nature of social and cultural British history of the eighteenth century and assess the prospects for its future.
