  • Baron Hannay of Chiswick - Brexit: past, present and future perspectives

    Prominent economic and political historians will come together to give their perspectives on what the past can tell us about the future. Has the referendum result changed our constitution irrevocably? How and when will we leave? How are the negotiations likely to work and what are the precedents? What can Britain’s pre-European past tell us about its economic future?

    Above all, what challenges will Westminster and Whitehall face over the coming years as they address these questions? The discussions seek to offer long-range guidance and perspective to policy makers in a situation for which there is no institutional memory. Historical context has never been more important.

  • Siobhan Endean - National Officer for Equalities at Unite the Union

    History & Policy Trade Union Forum event: The Future of Trade Unions

    Notwithstanding a truce during the EU Referendum campaign, the Government's relationship with trade unions has reached rock bottom with more restrictions aimed against them through the new Trade Union Bill 2016. Trade union membership has remained fairly static over recent years and the changing face of work presents new challenges.

    With this in mind, History & Policy’s Trade Union Forum will be hosting a half-day conference The Future of Trade Unions, where eminent speakers from both academia and trade unions will take stock of how trade unions’ relationship with government has evolved over time, and hypothesise as to where unions should go from here.

  • Dr Sarah Richardson - University of Warwick
    Plenty of attention is being paid to the political and constitutional effects of Brexit, but what will its economic impact be on life’s most basic commodities? How did food prices inform the debate in the weeks and months leading up to the referendum, and how have they informed debate in the past? How have the spectres of want and hunger been invoked over the last century and a half in political contexts, and are we paying them enough attention now?
