New Ways of Writing History with Patrick Boucheron and Olivette Otele

 

History is not a factual report but a discourse, often written by those who benefit the most from it. However, in a globalised era of ever-growing communications, new voices have begun to arise, putting the dominant historical discourse into perspective. In a conversation chaired by Prof. Filippo de Vivo, historians Patrick Boucheron and Olivette Otele will discuss the new ways in which history can be written, going beyond the bias of national histories in order to put forward a more complete – yet complex – picture of our past

Speakers:

  • Patrick Boucheron, Historian of the Middle Ages and Italian Renaissance, Collège de France
  • Olivette Otele, Professor of History of Slavery and Memory of enslavement, SOAS University of London (and formerly at the University of Bristol)
  • Filippo de Vivo, Professor of Renaissance and  Early Modern Italy, Europe and the Mediterranean, University of Oxford
