Event details

What do you think of when you think about the past? Does what you read in the media help?

Our hands-on collaging workshop provides a relaxing and creative space to reflect on the narratives we share about our history and how we might use these to build better futures. 

Come along and uncover the stories that matter to you with University of York researchers Andrew Hill, Clemency Cooper, and Lindsey Büster.

About the speakers

Andrew Hill is a PhD student at the Leverhulme Centre for Anthropocene Biodiversity and the Department of Archaeology at the University of York. Andrew’s research investigates how past woodland management influenced woodland biodiversity in Britain.

Lindsey Büster is a UKRI Future Leader’s Research Fellow in the Department of Archaeology at the University of York. With research interests focusing on ritual and domestic life in later prehistoric Europe, Lindsey is interested in how the deep past can shape discussions on major social challenges today.

Clemency Cooper is a PhD student at the Leverhulme Centre for Anthropocene Biodiversity and the Department of Archaeology at the University of York. Clemency is interested in how knowledge about the past environment shapes present perceptions of place, and her research focuses on the North York Moors landscape.
