http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/1/d/6/b/event_48067531.jpegA brief introduction into skeptical and secular history
Liz is one of the Pod Delusion's ( http://poddelusion.co.uk/ ) foreign correspondents in that she originally comes from Ontario, Canada. She is also Deputy Editor of the Pod Delusion.
Liz's love of European history and castles brought her over to the UK in 2006 and the beer, skepticism and doing an MA has made her stay. If you've ever heard Liz talking about History, you'll be familiar with her enthusiasm and extensive knowledge, which she'll be treating us to with a lesson in skeptical history.
Her talk will be a brief introduction into skeptical and secular history, the problems with history portrayed in the popular culture and how to spot it. So giving a tool kit to people who might not be historians but can be skeptical about historical claims.
Liz has a BA (hons) in History from the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario and a MA in history from Birkbeck College, University of London in London.
In the meantime, listen to 'The Pod Delusion': a weekly news magazine podcast about interesting things! Highly recommended. The Pod Delusion is a submission-based podcast. If you have something interesting to say, we're sure they'd love to hear from you.
