About this event

Event lasts 1 hour 30 minutes

Dr Matthew Smith (Strathclyde University), 'How History Can Help Solve Our Mental Health Crisis, a Q&A'.

In this third annual iteration of Nottingham Trent University’s History and Policy seminar series, we concentrate on some of the most pressing concerns for the new Labour government: economic development, the housing crisis, adult social care, food policy and the future of the NHS. Historians from a complex range of specialisms come together across the series to offer a sense of why historical data, experience and perspective matter for those struggling in policy areas where there are often no ‘good’ solutions.

Seminars take place online from 1700-1830 on the days indicated. It is expected that papers will last for c.45 minutes, with questions thereafter. For any further detail or problems in signing up, please contact: steven.king@ntu.ac.uk or catherine.gower@ntu.ac.uk

We will only use the information provided in the registration form for organising the seminar. Information will not be shared with anyone beyond the seminar organisers, and it will all be deleted shortly after the seminar has taken place.
