When there are no sources: an English Historical Review symposium

The EHR is hosting a one-day symposium in St John’s College, Oxford, to celebrate the recent publication of the journal’s 600th issue.

In marking this milestone, and in line with the journal’s generalist ambitions, the symposium addresses a problem which matters to all historians: what to do when there are no sources. Five leading scholars, working across diverse chronological and geographical areas, will grapple with the methodological problem of paucity of source material, discuss how such absences affect their area of research, and demonstrate how they have chosen to solve the problem.

All interested parties, from senior scholars to graduate students, are invited to register to attend. You can register and also see the full programme here: tinyurl.com/bd8d8sny
