Histfest Annual Conference

Histfest is the annual conference organised by postgraduate students in the Department of History at Lancaster University. It provides an opportunity for students at any stage of progress to present papers associated with their work in a supportive environment with a constructive audience. The conference welcomes papers from any field of historical research and related disciplines and enables participants to engage with students from different institutions sharing similar interests.

In recent years Histfest has widened in scope and ambition. Last year’s conference, which opened with a keynote address by Professor Colin Jones (UCL), hosted nearly forty speakers over three days. You can view last year’s programme here.
