Summer 2024 Events Programme Live

Free tickets are now available for our summer 2024 research lunches and seminars. Our research lunches showcase work-in-progress research and are not recorded for this reason. Research seminars will be in person and online and recordings may be released at a later date. To be the first to know about all our events make sure to subscribe to our newsletter.

Our research seminar series this term is titled Out to Sea and will focus on the influence of oceans and their coasts, in relation to Britain and its global empire, on visual and architectural imagination and production.
