2009 Seminars and Forum

FRIDAY FORUM

In 2009 these Forums will be held on Fridays at 1 – 2.30 pm from May to October.

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.
