London’s radicals, secularists, suffragists and pacifists. This 8 week course will look at some remarkable people and movements who spoke up
This 8 week course will look at some remarkable people and movements who spoke up and campaigned for progressive ideas and social change in London from the 1790s-1940s. It will tell their individual and collective stories, explore how they popularised their ideas, and influenced each other, visit sites of protest, and consider their lasting achievements.
It will be taught mainly through interactive classroom sessions organised on a thematic basis. It will use written and visual materials, include archive materials from the Humanist Library paired and group discussions, and include four guided walks - in Bloomsbury, Fleet Street, Clerkenwell, and Westminster, where a number of the people and movements being explored were active.
It will pay particular attention to individuals who had a connection with the South Place Ethical Society and Conway Hall
