Last week, the Leo Baeck Institute London hosted a high-level academic workshop centred on a forthcoming monograph by historian and LBI London board member Professor Abigail Green (University of Oxford). Tentatively entitled Children of 1848, the book is an international history of Jewish liberal activism told through families.
Leading historians – including Ruth Harris, Ira Katznelson, Robert Gildea, Adam Sutcliffe, and Derek Penslar – came together at the Institute’s Bloomsbury offices for a day of discussion on the legacy of the 1848 revolutions and their place in modern European history.
The event showcased the LBI’s role as a hub for cutting-edge research and interdisciplinary exchange, and affirmed its commitment to fostering dialogue on the place of Jewish experience within broader historical narratives.
