A graduate conference, organised by graduates from the History Faculties of Oxford University and the University of Cambridge, will take place at St John's College and New Hall, Cambridge on 15-16 November. By focusing on the interpretations and historiographies produced about and in response to it, the conference seeks to examine in what ways the French Revolution constitutes a permanent engine for the development of History as a discipline. The confirmed keynote speakers are Christian Amalvi, Keith Baker, Alan Forrester, Sudhir Hazareesingh, Stuart Jones, Lucy Riall, Gareth Stedman Jones, and Robert Tombs. Papers will be presented by graduate students from various universities in the UK and the US.
