描述
Explore the hidden legacies of empire and colonialism that shaped Cambridge and its prestigious university. Led by a university researcher, this tour covers the city centre and its complicated past.
On this walking tour of Cambridge, we explore the complex historical ties between the university, its benefactors, and Britain's colonial past. Learn how Cambridge’s architecture, scholars, and institutions were deeply influenced by the wealth and ideas derived from imperial expansion. Discover unheard stories of resistance, resilience, and the current ways in which the university and its museums continue to reckon with its colonial history.
Led by current researchers at the university, this tour offers a critical perspective on Cambridge’s role in shaping global narratives and power structures, past and present.
