Women’s History Network Annual Conference: ‘Addressing the Nation’

2 & 3 September 2022 (Online via Zoom, Free to attend)

Autumn 2022 marks the centenary of the BBC. From almost the very start, women worked in many capacities including behind the scenes, making programmes and speaking on air. This conference will explore how women across the world were ‘addressing the nation’ and other political and social communities. Not just as broadcasters but also, for example, as activists, actors, journalists, writers, cartoonists, orators, storytellers and public figures. It encompasses all places and time periods.

We are delighted to announce that our keynote speakers will be:
Angela McShane (University of Warwick)
Kate Murphy (Bournemouth University)
Imaobong Umoren (LSE)
