The events offer an opportunity to engage with the wide range
of research undertaken at the University of Wolverhampton.
Professor Jean Gilkison, Dean of Research and Graduate
Studies, said: “The variety of cultural, technological, historical
and professional concerns addressed within this series highlights
the wide range of interests and expertise found within our research
community.
The Public Lecture Programme is enhanced by our annual
Holocaust Memorial Lecture. This year we are delighted to welcome
Steven Frank, who will be talking about his life during and after
the Holocaust.”
This year’s programme features many other highlights,
including a guest lecture by Professor Colin McInnes, Head of the
Department of International Politics at Aberystwyth University and
UNESCO Professor of HIV/AIDS Education and Security in
Africa.
And Visiting Professor Michael Finnissy, a highly regarded
British composer who has taught many of the new generation of
British composers.
Tickets for the Holocaust lecture need to be booked in
advance. There is no need to book for the other lectures.
Prof Gilkison added: “We hope you enjoy the series of talks on
