In this third annual iteration of Nottingham Trent University’s History and Policy seminar series, we concentrate on some of the most pressing concerns for the new Labour government: economic development, the housing crisis, adult social care, food policy and the future of the NHS. Historians from a complex range of specialisms come together across the series to offer a sense of why historical data, experience and perspective matter for those struggling in policy areas where there are often no ‘good’ solutions.

Seminars take place online from 1700-1830 on the days indicated. It is expected that papers will last for c.45 minutes, with questions thereafter. For any further detail or problems in signing up, please contact: steven.king@ntu.ac.uk or catherine.gower@ntu.ac.uk
