This year’s ‘Newport Chartist Convention‘ is being held at the City Campus of the University at Newport from 11am to 3pm
Key note speaker: Professor Malcolm Chase (Leeds University) “Welsh Chartism: Looking beyond November 1839″
Malcolm Chase is the leading Chartist historian in the UK today – author of ‘Chartism: a new history” (2007)
In this lecture, Professor Chase will draw upon his recent Llafur article (2010) “Rethinking Welsh Chartism” and place the Rising at Newport in 1839 into a broader context, considering not only the English risings that didn’t happen, but also the preceding 1837-38 Canadian Rebellions.
