The Historical Association: Victorian Science and Technology: The Engine of Empire

The Historical Association presents a lecture on Victorian science and technology, exploring how innovation contributed to the making and maintenance of empire. The event is led by Dr Craig Gershater, who is well known locally and brings specialist knowledge from his work in the history of science.

The talk is aimed at anyone with an interest in history, the history of science, and the wider social and imperial context of the Victorian period. It offers an accessible opportunity to hear a subject expert discuss how scientific ideas and technological developments shaped Britain’s imperial reach.

This is a branch event held in Chichester at Friends Meeting House. Attendance is free for Historical Association members, with others invited to enquire on arrival.
