There will be opportunities to meet with fellow early career historians, to discuss your own experiences and questions relating to being an early career historian, and to help shape the direction of History Lab Plus. The event will end with a roundtable about History Lab Plus in 2023 including an overview of the programme of events and activities and a discussion of issues relating to early career historians.
