Cambridge's traditional histories often conjure images of its prestigious university and iconic architecture, but these narratives have often obscured the contributions of diverse communities that have profoundly shaped the city's past. Drawing inspiration from the critical history walking tours of Uncomfortable Cambridge, this lecture will delve into overlooked stories and individuals, bringing to light the enduring presence and influences of marginalised ethnic and religious communities and trace their presence throughout the city’s history.Join us to explore how connecting with these often-overlooked histories can not only enrich our understanding of the city’s past but also inspire the building of stronger, more inclusive communities today.
About the speaker:
