King's Seminars

King's Maritime History Seminars

The King’s Seminars are an annual set of lectures organised by the BCMH, which run from October to May. They are open to the public and are normally held at King’s College London (and broadcast live via Zoom). The Kings Seminars are a range of lectures by invited speakers. There are usually two each month during term time.

The series is organised by Dr Alan James, and are supported by the Society for Nautical Research and the ‘Laughton Naval History Unit’ and ‘Sir Michael Howard Centre for the History of War’ at the Department of War Studies, King's College London. 

Seminar Series, 2022-23 

The King’s Maritime History Seminars 2022-23 will continue to be held as hybrid events.This means that there is an option to attend the seminars in person, but they will be simultaneously broadcasted online so that we may continue to enjoy the advantages, and safety, of the online experience. However you choose to attend, you must register in advance and follow the COVID guidance as outlined here. As circumstances change, we will be monitoring the situation.

As always, attendance to the Kings Seminar Series is free and open to all who register. Events start at 17:15.
