History Open Lectures
Throughout the 2009-2010 academic year the School of History will be hosting several major lectures to compliment our regular research seminars.
Each lecture celebrates the School's position at the forefront of contemporary Historical research and is emphasised by the calibre of the guest lecturers that we are pleased to welcome to Kent.
As with all of Kent's Open Lectures we encourage members of the general public to attend as we hope that each lecture will prove to be an engaging and informative experience.
