This conference is aimed at scholars and members of the public who are interested in two of the contentious issues in our study and understanding of history: 1) to what extent does Eurocentrism define history, and are there alternative ways of explaining history? 2) what aims and objectives should govern a history curriculum in schools in multicultural Britain?
While the political and economic power of the West has been manifest throughout the world over the last three centuries, equally remarkable has been the cultural dominance of the West too.
For any academic, teacher or member of the public with a vested interest in the way in which we define our approach to the study of history, this is a conference not to be missed.
Fee: £ 18 for people in employment; £ 10 for students, retired senior citizens and people not in employment. The fee includes lunch and a booklet containing papers submitted at last year’s multicultural conference on Islamic Civilization
(This year’s conference is partly funded by a generous contribution from Mr. Eruch Cavasji, a resident of Denton, Greater Manchester).

Closing date for application: Friday, November 15, 2013.
