The School of Arts, Languages and Cultures is throwing open its doors this autumn to give an insight into the
research our staff are engaged in. Our “Meet the Researchers” series is a great opportunity to meet the
experts and find out more about cutting-edge Arts and Humanities research. As our research informs our
teaching, attendees will gain an insight into the wide variety of topics university students could be
introduced to in their degree.
The talks are especially aimed at Year 11 and Sixth Form students. Members of the public and University
staff and students are also warmly invited.
Venue:
The lectures will be held on the on the University of Manchester’s Oxford Road campus.
