Dec 23, 2020 Professor Simon Schama is one of Britain’s most respected and beloved historians. But his interests aren’t limited to the Dutch Golden Age, the transatlantic slave trade or British cultural history. He is also fiercely engaged with present day politics – from anti-semitism in the Labour Party to American foreign policy, Scottish independence to the politics of modern art. In this highlight from his How To Academy event, Simon muses over the Brexit referendum, cultural interchange between the UK and Europe, and why he believes historians should engage in public discourse.
