Marching Through Time: Environmental Protest in Oxfordshire & Bucks
17 October 2025 @ 2.00pm to 4.30pm
About Marching Through Time: Environmental Protest in Oxfordshire & Bucks
This workshop is the first in a new six-part event series taking place throughout this autumn, hosted by Oxford University’s Community History Hub.
The events will showcase a range of innovative local historical projects run by, or in partnership with, community historians.
Participants will learn about the latest new research being conducted on Oxfordshire’s diverse histories, as well as gaining new skills that could help shape personal project ideas.
The first event (on 17 October) is a workshop held in collaboration with the Reconnecting Bernwood, Otmoor and the Ray project (RBOR): a newly funded landscape-scale conservation project led by the Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust (BBOWT). A core strand of this work is to connect communities to their local history and heritage.
The workshop will include the opportunity to learn about some fascinating examples of activism and protests across Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire in the last 200 years.
It will be an interactive event, where participants will be invited to share their own stories and memories of engaging in local activism, and where you will be provided with an exciting opportunity to co-design the project’s research activities and events.
The event is free and everyone is welcome, but please note that the number of spaces available is limited, so please book in advance. If you have any questions about the event, you are welcome to contact the RBOR activism project leader, Dr Helena Chance, Buckinghamshire New University: helena.chance@bnu.ac.uk.
