Our next Historical Research Forum event isn't until March 26th, when Julia & Michalis will be presenting. However three events on this coming Tuesday that may be of interest:
Graduate Training - How to prepare for a successful leap over the First Year Hurdle
Senior Common Room, Arts II, 3.30pm
The Present Uses of the Past
Skeel Lecture Theatre, QM People's Palace, 5pm

This is the inaugural Raphael Samuel History Centre event at QM.
The past is never really past; it lives on into the present, sometimes in very controversial ways. Competing interpretations of the past are used to explain, to inspire, to exonerate, to
condemn. This event looks at some of the uses made of the past in present-day life and politics.
Chaired by Professor Barbara Taylor (QMUL):
Catherine Hall (History, UCL)
Jacqueline Rose (English, QMUL)
Bill Schwarz (English, QMUL)
Gareth Stedman Jones (History, QMUL)
You may also be interested in the event which follows immediately afterwards (and ensuing wine reception):
Confessions of a Judicial Activist
Fogg Lecture Theatre, G.E Fogg Building, 6.30pm
Justice Albie Sachs
(author, activist, and retired judge on the Constitutional Court of South Africa)
Free and open to all but please book at http://sachslecture.eventbrite.co.uk/#
Maybe see you on Tuesday or at events later this month!
That is a great history research article.
