A line drawing in black and white of a gathering of people

In July 2024, Durham University hosted a major two-day conference on modern Scottish political history. Histories of Scottish Politics in the Age of Union, c.1700-1945, was run by Dr Naomi Lloyd-Jones, Leverhulme Early Career Fellow in the History Department.

Following the conference, a range of early career researchers and doctoral candidates reflected on the event and future directions in the field, writing blogs for several of the organisations that generously provided scholarship.
To read the blogs and learn more about the state of Scottish political history past, present and future, please have a look at:
