FRIDAY FORUM

The Friday Forum is a venue for scholars, artists and performers to present ideas in a variety of formats: debates, round tables, conversations with creators, performances, and focused discussions on matters of public importance. Approached from a variety of humanities perspectives, the Friday Forum appeals broadly to the university community and to members of the public.
For further information, or to suggest ideas for the Friday Forum, please contact the convenor.

These Forums will be held on alternative Fridays at 1 – 2.30 pm.
