We run a regular programme of seminars as part of the Sports and Leisure History Seminar Series that the BSSH run in partnership with the Institute of Historical Research. The Seminar convenors run the series in an alternating hybrid and virtual style throughout the year, hosting seminars in a hybrid fashion at the Institute of Historical Research and on zoom or completely virtual via zoom. You can find a list of upcoming speakers and seminars on the IHR website here, where you can also register for individual sessions in order to receive a Zoom link (this will arrive on the day of the seminar).
Seminars take place at 6:00pm UK time on selected Mondays, with one hour for speakers to deliver their paper and answer questions from the audience. For hybrid seminars, those attending the seminar in-person at the Institute of Historical Research are invited to join the convenors and speaker for an informal social afterwards, but this is solely optional.
If you haven't already checked them out, we do publish the seminars as podcasts - so if you are unable to attend, or wish to revisit the topics at any time, you can listen any time on all major podcast platforms including Apple, Spotify and Amazon podcasts. Likewise, you can pop over to the BSSH podcast page via this link here on the website and listen to the seminar series episodes.
