Each year the National Centre of Biography hosts the Biography Workshop series. This series was established in response to requests by practitioners, students, and readers of biography for a forum to discuss a range of methodological issues relating to biography.
The NCB will once again host ten monthly Biography Workshops in 2026.Throughout the year an exciting lineup of speakers will explore their biographical puzzles, projects and problems. Each event will take place on the last Thursday of the month from 11am-12pm and will include a presentation as well as time for discussion and Q&A.
All are welcome! You can view the 2026 program below.
