ICHRE Summer Conference
Thursday 26 June 2025
Room 642, IOE, 20 Bedford Way, London WC1H OAL
We are pleased to announce that the Richard Aldrich Lecture will be given by Tom O’Donoghue, professor emeritus at the University of Western Australia.
The conference will conclude with a book launch to celebrate two publications by ICHRE colleagues: Dreaming the New Woman by Jennifer Bond, and The Co-operative College and a Century of Social Change by Tom Woodin, Keith Vernon and Linda Shaw.
This year we are not issuing an open call for papers. However, we are trying something new: an open ‘soapbox’ session, at which speakers may present for a maximum of three minutes, using a single Powerpoint slide. This is modelled on the popular and entertaining ‘three-minute thesis’, with which some of our doctoral students may be familiar. The ‘soapbox’ could be used to present an update on a particular project, publication or exhibition, or perhaps to summarise the argument of a paper that a speaker is presenting elsewhere. Or it could be an opportunity for doctoral students to present their own ‘three-minute thesis’.
Free and open to all but you must register here: ICHRE annual conference 2025
