We aim to study and discuss a range of themes and topics which can either impact across states and regions or can be relatively specific and narrow.

Subjects can be from any period of history and can cover either very narrow or very wide timespans. Topics covered to date include the rise and decline of empires; British atrocities; slavery; the Scottish Clearances; water security; the Cold War; the impact of enclosures; the Darien Scheme; the Quakers; the cognitive revolution; the historical development of mental health legislation; the rise and spread of Islam; the Vietnam war; the Silk Roads and the Eastern Roman Empire

All offers to lead on a topic are gratefully received.

You are welcome to join our group but our talks programme is open to all members of u3a - just come along and take part. Refreshments are available before each meeting.
