This group welcomes those with some existing knowledge and those who are interested in addressing a new academic discipline. The founding members met in June 2023 to decide how best to operate. At the core of our activities will be to take turns in studying chosen aspects/events (Group members can choose) of the post 1945 period. They can then present, or lead discussion on, key aspects/events. For example, we might decide to look at the various aspects of the Cold War in Europe, conflicts outside Europe or international economic and political developments.

Some subjects may well be broken down into bite sized chunks and covered over a period of several meetings. The best medium for presenting the results of research is likely to be Power Point and our chosen venue has all the necessary audio visual facilities into which members can connect lap top computers on which their materiel is installed, if they choose to lead on subjects in that way.
