It is with great delight that SIERC announces the election of SIERC CEO Dr. Laurence B. Mussio to the UK’s prestigious Royal Historical Society. Founded in 1868, “the Royal Historical Society promotes and defends the scholarly study of the past and speaks for the interests of history and historians for the wider benefit of all,” notes Dr. Judy Stephenson of University College London where the Society is based, and who is also a Fellow of the RHS.

Dr. Stephenson continues, “It is fitting, and a source of much delight, then, that Laurence Mussio, co-founder and Chair of the Long Run Institute (LRI) and who dedicates himself to speaking for the interests of history and historians, has been elected a Fellow of the RHS.”
Dr. Mussio observes “The work of the Royal Historical Society far transcends national borders: it is a principal point of reference for the historical profession in the North Atlantic world. I am therefore honoured to become a fellow of the RHS. Apart from my own scholarship, it is in my view a recognition of the work of the Long Run Institute in connecting the insights generated by dispassionate applied history on critical subjects for corporate executives and public policymakers. That connection – between insights from the long run experience and strategic foresight – draws its strength from the kind of work that the Royal Historical Society has done up and down the decades. I feel privileged to be a part of that.”
