Histories of Activism lunchtime sessions on 2 May and 16 May

The 'Histories of Activism' research group at Northumbria University is pleased to announce two forthcoming lunchtime sessions. These are one-hour meetings, consisting of brief and relatively informal presentations, with plenty of scope for discussion. We’ve deliberately conceived these sessions as bringing together scholars from different disciplinary background.

These meetings are taking place at 12h30 pm at Northumbria University's Institute of the Humanities. For information on the venue and format, feel free to contact Daniel Laqua.
