Event Description:

How do you turn your historical research into readable history? Historians don’t simply ‘write up’ their research – or let AI do it for them. Writing history is a literary endeavour. This seminar discusses the nature of historical writing and provides some tips on history writing for people who would like to see their research published – and read.
