A Radical History of the World – A talk by Neil Faulkner

Tuesday 11 June: 7pm to 8:30pm

History is a weapon. The powerful have their version. The people have another. And if we understand how the past was made, we arm ourselves to change the future. Many times in the past, a different society became an absolute necessity. Humans have always struggled to create a better life. They must do so again today. This is a history to prove that we, the many, have the power to change the world. Neil Faulkner is a leading historian, archaeologist, and political thinker.

Tickets £1 - £3

Thursday 20 June: 7pm to 8:30pm
