At Home in History – June 2026.
On Wednesday 10 June, 5.30PM to 6.45PM on Zoom Professor Jane Hamlett will explore how the home has become an important category for understanding the past, drawing on her own research on the domestic lives of women, men, children and animals in 19th-century Britain.
This talk will explore the homes of the rich and poor and the many people who lived in institutional spaces in the local area including Surrey’s Royal Holloway College, the Holloway Sanatorium and Brookwood County Asylum. Jane will ask ‘What can histories of home tell us, and why are they important today’?
