Event Postponement

The School of History and the Centre for the Study of the History of Political Thought at Queen Mary University of London sincerely regret to have to announce that, due to the very late announcement (on Sunday night) of the suspension of the London Underground strike planned for this week, we had to postpone the event that was scheduled to take place on Thursday 11 January: Class, Language, and Utopia: Histories of Political Change — an Event in honour of Professor Gareth Stedman Jones.

When a new date has been agreed we will make an announcement and issue a new invitation. 

Thank you for your understanding.
