Writing the history of the British Academy
Manage episode 295131788 series 2889048
The British Academy is the UK's national academy for the humanities and social sciences and was founded in 1902. In this talk, Professor Sir David Cannadine discusses undertaking the task of writing the history of the Academy and why it is worth doing so, the importance of engaging with the challenging moments it has faced and how these were navigated, and if the history of the Academy is merely the history of a single institution or if it sheds light on how institutions more widely can enhance public understanding of people, cultures and societies.
Speaker: Professor Sir David Cannadine PBA, President, the British Academy; Dodge Professor of History, Princeton University
