Description
Hello, welcome to the UoW History Society! We aim to create an accessible environment for all students with a passion in everything history, whether it be ancient, modern, or anything in between!
As a society we want to diversify our membership, welcoming everyone of all interests, backgrounds, religions, gender identites, etc. If you have an interest in anything historical, come join us and indulge us in your knowledge, we're always open to learn from new perspectives!
This year we're hoping to visit a range of local museums and heritage sites, as well as arranging multiple talks from speakers, both internal and external, on a range of topics. Possibly to come will be talks on how to write and research the historical fiction genre, an exploration of history and how it is used in the workplace outside of university, and focus sessions on how the actions of the past still affect us today (i.e decolonising the curriculum, the Black Lives Matter movement).
We also want to run study sessions outside of our usual weekly meetings, focused on aiding students with any assignments they may have, as well as just meeting up, having a friendly chat and an informal social to crack down on work! We're here to be as supportive as possible.
Make sure to follow our social media, where we post all of our events ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/1374340843178724 & Instagram @uowhistorysoc), or get in touch with us via UoWHistorySoc@gmail.com. If needed you can directly contact either our Chair: James (j.may.21@unimail.winchester.ac.uk) or Vice-Chair: Lucy (l.gliddon.22@unimail.winchester.ac.uk)

MEMBERSHIP T&Cs
Where an activity group (sports team/society/representational network) has a competitive element or other external factors that affect the number of participants, your membership may be subject to criteria other than joining the group via this website. If this results in your membership not being able to be accepted, you will be informed (with any relevant details) and your membership will be refunded.
Membership will not normally be refunded if you cease being a student, if you voluntarily end your membership, or if you are subject to disciplinary action that removes your membership status.
CODE OF CONDUCT
By joining this activity group you are confirming your compliance with Student Union policies and bye-laws, particularly as it pertains to conduct, personal safety and acceptable behaviour.
Initiations: At no point should you feel pressured to drink and get involved in what others are doing, for example to join in with drinking games or ‘challenges’, if you don’t want to. If you are part of an activity group it is completely your choice whether or not you attend a social event. Activity groups are prohibited from carrying out initiation ceremonies, or any initiation-type behaviour, either on or off campus. If you ever feel pressured to take part in social activities as part of an activity group, we would strongly encourage you to report it to us here: https://www.winchesterstudents.co.uk/report It is our upmost priority that you feel safe engaging in Union activity, and there is support available for you if you have experienced or witnessed anything that made you feel uncomfortable or concerned you.
