The History Research Seminar welcomes Professor Chris Wickham of the University of Oxford to present his current research.

Chris Wickham is Chichele Professor of Medieval History (emeritus) at the University of Oxford. He has worked on a range of topics in medieval history: detailed rural/regional analyses in an Annales tradition, and also urban histories, of Italy up to the early thirteenth century; comparative history, of socio-economic and socio-political patterns, particularly in late Antiquity and the early middle ages, but later on as well; socio-legal history; the study of social memory in Europe and more widely; and the interface between history and archaeology.
