London Walking Tour: Untold Histories of Science

Explore the untold histories of science on this multisensory, interactive walk centred on underrepresented and marginalised identities.

About this Event

What is it?

A 1-hour walking tour of the history of science in central London, with a twist: instead of telling the story of famous scientists, we will uncover the untold contributions made by underrepresented or marginalised identities in the history of science in London. We will explore the diverse range of contributors in the history of science, shedding light on how many more and diverse people have shaped science in London and the world, beyond the dominant stories.

What can you expect?

The format of the walk is based on interactive conversations and learning together through experiences and reflection. We will use different senses like touch, sight, sound and spatial awareness for an immersive experience. Be prepared to participate with your whole self!

Who is it for?

The walk is for adults only. Come along if you are interested either in history of science and are curious about its hidden stories or if you are interested in marginalised identities and don’t know much about science. Or maybe you want to see London in a different way. Of course, any combination in between is welcome. No specific knowledge or expertise is needed, just curiosity.
