Connexions Calendar

History after Hobsbawm


April 29, 2014 to May 01, 2014


A major international conference, with plenary speakers and large parallel sessions, exploring where the study of history is currently heading. The conference draws inspiration from the capacious legacy of the late Eric Hobsbawm, but is not a memorial event. We aim, rather, to bring together discussion about what we are currently doing as socially-committed historians and what it means to be an historian in the twenty-first century. Amongst the topics discussed in keynote lectures and panel debates will be empire, world histories, Europe, Latin America, political conflict, class, Marxism, capitalism, environmental history, the crisis of the seventeenth century, the invention of traditions, nationalism, economic history and historical explanation.
The conference is organised by Birkbeck, University of London, where Eric Hobsbawm taught most of his life, and by Past & Present, which he co-founded.

Location: Birkbeck, University of London London, England
