Woodbrooke, Quaker Studies Research Association and Conference of Quaker Historians and Archivists working in partnership.
The 2024 Quaker Studies Conference provides an opportunity to hear the latest scholarship in the field. The anniversary of the birth of George Fox offers a valuable point for reflection by historians, archivists and others to consider the life and times of Fox as well as his legacies, and a coming together of new and exciting ideas around Friends and their history. The George Richardson Lecture will be given by Nigel Smith.
The conference, jointly held by the Centre for Research in Quaker Studies, the Quaker Studies Research Association, and the Conference of Quaker Historians and Archivists, is ideal for anyone researching Quakerism or those interested in the findings of the research. This is a major transatlantic event and a very exciting opportunity to hear the latest scholarship in Quaker studies.
