2023-2024 CPH Lecture Series

2023-2024 CPH Lecture Series

The UH Center for Public History Lecture Series provides a unique opportunity for Houston professionals, community leaders, and others to consider historical, social and cultural perspectives directly related to the decisions they make. The Series brings to the University of Houston and the larger Houston community scholars, artists, and policymakers who shape our world and broaden our intellectual horizons. 

Although historians study the past, we are keenly aware of our present moment in 2023. We believe that history – and especially Houston's history – can offer us tools to help us make sense of the world we live in.

 Each of the major CPH Lecture Series events for the 2023-2024 academic year will be recorded and placed below for viewing. In addition, we have provided list of linked supplemental resources for each video, related to the content discussed in that specific lecture or panel.
