HabsTalks welcomes Professor Lawrence Goldman (OH 1975)

In the second event as part of our new HabsTalks programme, the History Society on Monday 25 January 2021 hosted Professor Lawrence Goldman (OH 1975). Professor Goldman, former Director of the Institute of Historical Research, former Editor of the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography and Emeritus Fellow of St Peter’s College, Oxford, spoke about ‘Race, Region and Rebellion: The Origins of the American Civil War 1846-61.’

The School was delighted to be joined for the talk by several Sixth Form students and colleagues from the Girls’ School, as well as former colleagues from the History Department and Old Haberdashers who studied History. The thought-provoking and engaging talk generated many questions afterwards. We are grateful to Professor Goldman for sharing his expertise and skill as a historian and communicator with our students and wider community.
