Public Lecture:
On 19th January, we were joined by Jan Lucassen, honorary fellow at the Institute of Social History in Amsterdam, who talked about his latest book The Story of Work. It was a lively discussion covering more than 700,000 years, looking at the way humanity organises work in the household, the tribe, the city and the state.
It was good to see so many of you there but, if you missed it, you can watch via our Facebook page:
