Cambridge: City of Scholars, City of Refuge (1933-1945)
Click here to view the Conference Report
Shortly before the coronavirus shut down the university and much of the world, we organised a conference, Cambridge: City of Scholars, City of Refuge, 1933-1945. Co-sponsored by CRASSH, Trinity College, and the Jewish Historical Society of England, and organised in association with the Insiders/Outsiders Festival, the conference brought together a stellar group of scholars and scientists to begin to tell the story about the way Cambridge – university, colleges and city – became a haven for refugees from Fascist Europe in the years 1933-45 (we were inspired in part by a recent book that tells a similar story for Oxford).
Another Eye Online Conference
Four Corners were delighted to host the Another Eye free online conference, celebrating the contribution of women refugee photographers who came to Britain after 1933, held between 11-13 September. The conference was held in association with Insiders/Outsiders and the History and Theory of Photography Research Centre, Birkbeck. Click here for further details.
