Join Helen Carr and Suzannah Lipscomb in conversation about their latest book, What is History, Now?, a ground breaking collection of essays addressing the burning issue of how we interpret history today.

Inspired by the influential text What is History? authored by Helen Carr’s great-grandfather, E.H. Carr, What is History, Now? covers topics such as queer history, the history of faith, the history of disability, environmental history, the history of racism and anti-racism, escaping imperial nostalgia, hearing women’s voices and ‘rewriting’ the past.

Featuring a diverse mix of writers, with both bestselling names and emerging voices, the book is a timely collection studying our relationship with the past and the present.

Helen Carr and Suzannah Lipscomb will be in conversation with Jess Nelson, Head of Collections at The National Archives.
