Cardiff University History Society is one of the biggest humanities-based course societies. Our goal is to provide and maintain a social community for both history students and those who have an interest in the subject. This year we have run a range of socials, ensuring that the society is inclusive to those looking for a more relaxed daytime social, or a club night out.
For sober socials, we have run a cinema trip to see Napoleon, a study social and a Christmas quiz. Our study socials are to be held regularly, with the increased workload of the second semester and upcoming assessments. We make sure we are available to lend support to students throughout their degree.
On the other hand, we have run various nights out with different themes and for different events, including: a ‘Give It A Go’ pub crawl to start the academic year, a ‘Bones and Jones’ joint social with ANARC society, a Halloween social, and a joint social with Pride Society for LGBT+ History Month. The latter was very much designed to promote diversity and inclusion and ensure everybody feels welcome and safe within the society. In sync with this, we have added three new positions to the committee: a diversity and inclusion offi cer, a welfare offi cer, and a second social secretary.
With these new roles, the History Society is in a much better position to run more events. We uphold that our events are considerate and inclusive of everybody, no matter their gender, ethnicity, or sexual orientation. Coming soon, we have an inter-society Pub Quiz in aid of charity, a trip to The National Museum of Wales, and a social to mark Women’s History Month in March.
We’d love to see you at one of these events and have you as a member of our society!
