This talk will include BSL interpretation.
Writer and journalist Brian Groom, author of the bestselling Northerners: A History, will tell the story of Britain and Ireland from the first human footsteps, based on his new book These Isles: A People’s History of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
He will reveal a colourful and often-contested story of the Celts, Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, Normans and others who have occupied these islands, along with their culture, languages and passions.
He will explore the role of religion and the British Empire, international diasporas and internal migration, gender relations and war – and outline how Teesside fits into the story.
