New Public Lecture programme kicks off

The University’s popular Public Lecture Programme gets underway next month, with a host of fascinating topics set to feature.

 

It’s the 11th series of lectures and the University has 12 lectures to showcase. New HAGRI Director Professor Jim Waddington, an expert in policing, will be asking ‘What’s Wrong with Policing?’ and providing a surprising and disturbing diagnosis.

 

The annual Holocaust Memorial lecture, organised by Dieter Steinert, is sure to be as popular as ever so booking will be essential - email Holocaust-lecture@wlv.ac.uk for tickets.

 

Other highlights include Peter Shah asking if glaucoma blindness can be prevented and Richard Trainor looking at the dynamism of Victorian Black Country.

 

Dean of Research and Graduate Studies, Professor Jean Gilkison, said: “The University’s Public Lecture programme is a great opportunity for the whole University community -staff and students- to find out about the latest developments across a range of subjects.

 

“The lectures are aimed at people who are interested but not necessarily specialists so everyone can learn something from them. It’s one of the easiest ways I know to broaden and deepen your own knowledge.”
