The Light Year IAS Public Lecture Series
Each year the IAS organises a public lecture series connecting the Institute’s thematic interest, aiming to deliver an exciting and stimulating series drawing not only a wide range of speakers and researchers to Durham to engage in dialogue exploring and addressing the IAS theme, but also connecting with the wider public allowing engagement with the work and ideas emerging from the IAS and its speakers.
This year’s IAS series is entitled The Light Year. The series will offer insights into light from many perspectives; from the role light has played since the formation of the universe and its cosmology to cultural and social changes effected by the development of light. Speakers in the series include Professor Sir Arnold Wolfendale; science writer Dr Philip Ball; cosmologist Professor Carlos Frenk; Fellow of the Royal Society Professor Tom McLeish; award winning author Professor Ernest Freeberg; Professor Sven Dupré and Professor Stephen Gaukroger.
These lectures are free and open to all. For further information contact the IAS (
enquiries.ias@durham.ac.uk). Details, dates and times of these lectures will appear at the end of the programme and on the IAS website (
www.durham.ac.uk/ias).
Additional IAS Events
Navigating Interdisciplinarity: a workshop Interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary collaboration contains challenges at each stage in the research process. These include different foci of attention; different conceptual approaches and models; different languages; different kinds of data and forms of analysis; different kinds of output; different measures or assessments of quality. How can interdisciplinary projects be developed coherently? How do practitioners learn to engage productively with other disciplinary areas?
In a partnership between the Institute of Advanced Study and the Department of Anthropology, two one-day workshops make use of anthropology’s expertise in cultural translation. Designed to assist cross-disciplinary communication and support collaborative interdisciplinary research, the workshop will focus examples on the IAS’s annual theme. It will be offered to IAS Fellows, its COFUND SRFs and JRFs, and to Durham researchers hoping to collaborate across disciplines. It will also be used for post-graduate training.
Dates and venues are noted at the end of this programme however for additional information and to register interest please contact:
