Making History: Hertford Alum is named as a ’30 under 30′ historian

1 August 2024

Hertford alumna Ciara Garcha has made the ’30 under 30′ list of young historians by History Extra, the BBC’s History Magazine website.

Ciara (2020, History) left Hertford to complete a Masters at Balliol and is due to begin her DPhil at Cambridge this year, where she will continue her research on South Asian migration, anticolonialism in the British Empire, postcolonial migrations in the 20th century and the global histories of mixed-race identities and experiences across European colonies.

The list was launched in collaboration with historian and presenter Alice Loxton and aimed to ‘shine a light on some of the wonderful young people doing amazing things in the history world’. Find a link to the full list here.

Congratulations to Ciara for this amazing achievement! And we look forward to witnessing where your research takes you next.
