Hannah J Elizabeth has been planning a varied seminar series for the upcoming academic year. This year the focus has broadly been on cultural histories of public health. Subjects range from vasectomies, to commuting, to emergency COVID literature for children, and we hope there will be something to interest just about everyone.

In October we’re offering some more focused seminars for Black History Month, and then in February we plan to focus on queer histories for LGBT History Month. You can find all the abstracts for upcoming events here.

You don’t need to register to join us at a seminar, simply follow the links on the abstract pages to the zoom seminar. We record many of our seminars and make them available online later.
