Launch

History Acts is launching at What is Radical History? on Tuesday 24 March.

For the conference we have produced a short presentation about our aims and the nature of the work we plan to undertake.

We hope to open up a discussion on these plans and to simulate debate and criticism around the legitimacy of the project. In this way, we believe our contribution to the conference will be both relevant and of value.
