Lancaster Historical Postgraduate Conference

Lived Histories: Peoples & Cultures

The Lancaster Historical Postgraduate Conference (LHPC) is an annual academic conference for postgraduate researchers and early career researchers working on all periods of history and topics of historical interest. Hosted at Lancaster University since 1995, LHPC provides a friendly and supportive environment for postgraduate researchers to present high-quality academic work. It has welcomed international speakers from all around the world and invites paper submissions from a wide range of disciplines.

2025’s LHPC will be exploring ‘Lived Histories: Peoples and Cultures’.  Continuing the model set by previous LHPC conferences, we welcome papers from all disciplines, provided they are historical in focus. In today's modern world, it is more important than ever to offer diverse and inclusive histories, as disciplinary divisions continue to reproduce colonial hierarchies in academic research. Academics from all disciplines are therefore invited to participate, thereby enabling the conference to bring together history with other academic fields.

This year’s conference will be held on 25th-27th June 2025. We are welcoming abstracts for papers with a deadline of 20th April 2025. We also welcome panel submissions as long as they have a coherent theme.
