About this Event

NTU History and Policy Seminar Series presents:

Professor Elizabeth Hurren (University of Leicester) – ‘The Immigrant Body: past and present policy lessons from history’

More about the seminar series

Our second year of NTU’s History and Policy Series focuses on three broad issues that have made the headlines in later 2023: Climate Change/Net Zero; Disability Policy; and the Future of the Welfare System. With an election very likely in 2024 these same issues are likely to remain ‘live’ and (notably in terms of welfare payments to the disabled) gather momentum. In this series we bring together historians, activists, commentators, arts organisations and policy influencers to explore our three themes and particularly to locate the historical precedents, experiences, trends and realities that can help to understand the debated present and policy future.

Please do join us by signing up to the seminars via Eventbrite. Our sessions run online via Teams on the last Tuesday of most months, from 1700-1815. If you have problems signing up, or find that links from Eventbrite have disappeared nearer the day then please do email [email protected]. Please also look out for our website: policyfactory.org.
