A historian’s journey. From the history of the medieval church to the history of genocide.
Join us to speak to Dr Harald Braun about what being a professional historian means to him, and ask him your burning questions about history and life as an academic! Bring your lunch or snacks to enjoy during this relaxed session for the opportunity to hear from one of the History Department's amazing lecturers.
"I started out as a medievalist, became a historian of early modern Catholic political thought and Spanish empire, and currently work on the global history of massacre and genocide. How did that happen? How does it all hang together? I want to invite you to my journey as a professional historian: What it means to me to be a historian. Why my students matter to me. Why (early modern) history matters. Why thinking historically matters, now perhaps more than ever."
