DESCRIPTION:Join us for a fantastic lecture by Prof Sadiah Qureshi on her 
 new book\, _Vanished_\, with an introduction by Helen Macdonald.\n\nWhy do
  some lives and histories disappear from view — and who decides what is 
 remembered? In this keynote lecture\, historian *Sadiah Qureshi* shares in
 sights from her acclaimed new book _Vanished_\, which explores how empire\
 , race\, and power shaped what the past was allowed to keep — and what i
 t chose to forget. Drawing on stories of lost people\, places\, and knowle
 dge\, _Vanished_ asks urgent questions about memory\, erasure\, and the ma
 king of history. The lecture will be introduced by *Helen Macdonald*\, aut
 hor of _H is for Hawk_\, and followed by a discussion led by *Sarah Qidwai
 *.\n\nThis event is free and open to the public\, and is organised by the 
 British Society for the History of Science and the Department of History a
 nd Philosophy of Science.\n\n"Sign up at Eventbrite":https://www.eventbrit
