Online (Zoom)
Category : Public talks

Join us online on 7th October for the first of the #UCMtalks series for 2020/21 

The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted all aspects of our lives, how we work, socialise and think. It will take some time to return to our previously ‘normal’ lives... but what will the ‘new normal’ be? How do we want it to look?

Join us for this live '#UCMtalks about COVID' debate, where experienced UCM lecturers and international scholars will bring forward unique perspectives from their diverse fields of study, ranging from genetics, history, medicine, big data and politics, to discuss how they would reconstruct the ‘new normal’, after COVID-19. The debate promises to be an insightful and engaging event, and there will be an opportunity to ask the panel any questions that you might have.
