[^1]: This article reproduces in shorter form and with minor adaptations Sarah Stockwell, ‘The Imperial and World History Seminar’ in David Manning ed., _Talking History. Seminar Culture and the Institute of Historical Research, 1921-2021_ (University of London Press, 2024), 175-200. I am very grateful to the editor and publisher of the volume for permission to do so, and, especially to David Manning for commissioning the original piece and his many insights on it. Research for the chapter was undertaken at the Liddell Hart Archive, King’s College, and the Institute of Historical Research, and I am also indebted to King’s archivists and to Michael Townsend (IHR) for their assistance and permission to use material and reproduce images in their collections. I am also exceedingly grateful to the following for allowing me to interview them and/or sending me written testimonies about the IHR seminar Shigeru Akita, Phillip Buckner, David Killingray, Peter Marshall, Douglas Peers, Richard Rathbone and the late Glyn Williams. Their written testimonies, solicited for the original chapter, are referenced on first citations as ‘X’s notes for the author’. I’m also grateful to John Darwin, Richard Drayton, and especially the late Arthur Burns for other help.
