Join the curator of the James Parkes travelling exhibition, Dr Chad McDonald, to discuss Parkes’ work as a pioneering campaigner against antisemitism.

The talk will showcase some of the materials used in the James Parkes exhibition, including photographs from Parkes’ personal collection. Visitors will have an opportunity to look at the exhibition before and after the talk.

Dr Chad McDonald is the curator of the James Parkes and the Age of Intolerance travelling exhibition. He recently completed a PhD examining the British memory of the Holocaust, which was co-supervised between the Department of History at the University of Bristol and Parkes Institute at the University of Southampton.
