In this recording, from April 2018, Jo Fox speaks to Justin Champion about the value of history, the importance of historical knowledge and the need for academic historians to take their work well beyond classrooms and seminars.
Justin sadly died in June 2020. He was a great friend of the IHR and held in great esteem by colleagues and students at Royal Holloway where he taught. We hope this recording conveys some of Justin's intelligence, humour and fierce campaigning spirit that will be missed by so many.
The interview begins with an Introduction from Jo Fox, recorded in July 2020, which sets their conversation in context.
