About this event
BBC Celebrity Traitors faithful finalist, and BAFTA award-winning producer, writer, and historian, Professor David Olusoga is here “in conversation” next month.
Recently featured in BBC2's Empire Documentaries, David continues to examine history in depth. Often bringing to light uncomfortable subjects and little-known facts, he uncovers how and why some events and some people are remembered and others forgotten. Taking examples from wars across the world, the British industrial revolution, and other pivotal moments in global history, he uncovers so much that has remained hidden and untaught.
An acclaimed historian and author, he has written or co-written eight books, including Black & British: A Forgotten History (winner of both the Longman–History Today Trustees Award and the PEN Hessell-Tiltman Prize), The World’s War, Black & British: A Short Essential History, The Kaiser’s Holocaust: Germany’s Forgotten Genocide, and The Colonial Roots of Nazism.
His television work also includes Union, and he is the writer and presenter of the long-running BBC history series A House Through Time. He is currently filming a new series for broadcast in April 2026.
This event is an "in-conversation with" and topics will be varied.
There will be a Q & A with David at the end.
