aBOUT THE LECTURE
In this lecture, Dan Snow will explore all the tools available to those who want to talk about, teach and enjoy history online. He has livestreamed on TikTok while searching for Shackleton's ship Endurance, posted on Instagram from WW1 biplanes and recorded podcasts from inside the Arctic and Antarctic circles.
When Dan Snow started working there were no podcasts, no YouTube, no Facebook, no Netflix, no 3G mobile network and no iPhone. So during the course of two decades Dan has responded to huge technological changes, taking advantage of huge new audiences… and sometimes embarrassing himself along the way!
Dan will explore some of the strengths and weaknesses about making history accessible online, along with the opportunities and dangers of this revolution in broadcasting.
The lecture is free and open to all.
