Historia Lectures
A series of super-curricular lectures from the University of Oxford's Faculty of History

Aimed at students currently studying for A levels or equivalent these lectures are designed to introduce you to new and engaging historical topics and periods. Lecture subjects are drawn from current DPhil candidate research.
Live sessions include an introductory lecture, Q&A and suggested reading materials to help you explore the topic further. Join the mailing list to receive weekly links to the live lectures throughout the Spring Term.
Historia Lectures are recorded and the 2025 series will join the 2023 & 2024 lectures on our website as a resource for students. Explore past lectures via the links on this page and find your new favourite topic!
