Location: Online Event - Please see description
In this special online event to mark Swansea University’s centenary, Professor in Creativity at Swansea University, Owen Sheers, is joined by historian Dr Sam Blaxland to discuss his book ‘Swansea University: Campus and Community in a Post-War World, 1945 – 2020’. The book, written to mark the University’s centenary is both a study of the institution, and a broader social history of post-war Britain. It focuses on particular themes like the development of youth culture, and the rise of protest movements. Sheers and Blaxland will discuss the challenges or writing a history like this, and the extensive oral history project that was part of its research.
After the conversation they will be answering any questions you may have.
