Historical Association: Extraordinary Europe: Writing History for a Children’s Encyclopaedia

This event is a talk by Professor Catherine Fletcher of Manchester Metropolitan University on the theme of writing history for a children’s encyclopaedia. It explores how historical research can be translated into engaging material for younger readers, and how broad historical themes can be shaped into accessible public-facing writing.

The lecture is hosted by the Historical Association and takes place at The Friends Meeting House in Manchester as part of the Manchester & Liverpool branch programme. It will appeal to anyone with an interest in history, historical writing, or public engagement with the past, including students and adults who enjoy history talks and discussion.
