HA Webinar series: The Power of Maps

Description

This course has now started but you can still sign up to gain live access to our future sessions. Recordings will be made available at a later date exclusively for HA members.

Join us this winter to explore the use of maps historically and how they can help us to cast light on the past with this brand new webinar series from the Historical Association.

Historians use maps a lot - or at least they should. They help us to understand global relations, environmental and social change and they help to reveal how the world was understood and explored in the past. This webinar series is an opportunity to hear three world class academics explore different aspects of history and historical understanding over four talks that look at the Power of Maps.

If you are interested in exploration, geo-politics, political movements or urbanisation then these talks will be right up your National ordinance surveyed street - don't miss out.

All sessions take place from 5-6.30pm and will be hosted online via Zoom.

Once you have signed up your details will be registered for all sessions and you will receive joining instructions directly from Zoom the week before the first session. If you have any questions feel free to contact us at shortcourses@history.org.uk.

A reminder will be sent the day and hour before the session takes place.

On the day of the session joining links will be sent out up until 1pm on the day of the session.
