Britain’s covert empire: espionage, history, and archaeology
For students

How did archaeologists and geographers become unwitting tools of empire in the 19th and early 20th centuries? Join historian Dr Daniel Reynold, from the University of Birmingham, to uncover how British officials secretly enlisted scholars to gather military intelligence in Egypt and historic Palestine. This talk explores the complex ties between archaeology, heritage, and state-building in the region—and invites you to reflect on their lasting implications today.
