The British Political History Group has been founded to stimulate interest in lively topics involving speakers who have published significant recent books on British political history. We think British political history continues to be an important area for students with strong relevance to our curriculum, as well as being of sufficient interest likely to attract an audience beyond the OU.

The seminars will be lively, interactive and topical, and will include some prominent historians, writers and critics. All talks will run from 7-8pm and be delivered on Teams.
