We Wanna Hold Your Hand through a two-day voyage across the science, medicine, and technology of Yesterday! Come Together with the HSMT 2025 graduands as we celebrate the past year of work and discover compelling new research.
This annual conference, is co-organised by MSc, and first-year MPhil and DPhil candidates in the history of science, medicine, and technology, together with the Oxford Centre for HMST. It is an opportunity for the graduands to share their thesis research, which spans six centuries and multiple continents. They will seek to share stories which have gone untold, illuminate the mysteries of the past, and find magic in the material. We hope you can join us for this Magical Mystery Tour!
Registration is required only for Day 1, as Day 2 does not provide lunch.
