On Wednesday Bibbings, an expert on military conscientious objection and, in particular, on ‘conchies’ during the Great War, will join actors and singers at Conway Hall in Red Lion Square in London. Her talk will tell the stories of a few of these objectors, focusing upon their explanations of conscience and the decisions their consciences led them to take.  

Bibbings’s work on WW1 conscientious objection includes her 2009 book, Telling Tales About Men: Conceptions of Conscientious Objectors to Military Service During the First World War (Manchester University Press).
