Historical Association: The British Industrial Revolution and the Making of the Modern World

Professor Emma Griffin of Queen Mary University of London delivers an evening lecture exploring the British Industrial Revolution and its place in the making of the modern world. The talk draws on her published historical research into modern Britain, especially the lives of ordinary people during this transformative period, and will be of interest to anyone keen on social history, economic change and the broader forces that shaped modern society.

The event is hosted by the Historical Association’s Bristol branch at the University of Bristol’s Humanities Building. Attendance is informal, with no advance booking required: attendees simply sign in at the lecture theatre door.

The lecture is open to guests for a small fee, while students and members of the Historical Association or the university attend free of charge.
