The Institute of Historical Research is proud to announce a conference devoted to the new British universities of the 1960s, which will take place on 23 - 24 October 2014 in the refurbished IHR premises in Senate House, London.
Rather than duplicate the various individual jubilees which have and are taking place in the universities (Essex, Lancaster, Sussex, UEA, UKC, Warwick and York) themselves, our aim is to look back at this moment in the history of higher education.
The conference will examine comparatively the aspirations and achievements around curricular development, campus design, philanthropy, the student experience, and local participation.
Additionally, the conference will look back to the pioneers, such as Keele; to the successors, such as Stirling and Ulster; and also consider the legacy of the Utopian Universities in the modern world today.
Registrations are now open.
