Video: Michela Menting

The first of our video uploads (there'll be weekly talks from now on) is Michela Menting on Cybercrime and International Law, originally given on the 17th of January.

The Final Event

Next Monday, 28th March is our final foray into communicating higher education, with presentations from Michael Carter-Sinclair from the History department (who will be speaking about German Identity 1860-1938), and Nacho Quinones from Forensic Science (who works with the Met investigating violent crime).

The event runs, as ever, from 6:15 in the Anatomy Theatre at KCL's Strand Campus, and will once again be followed by a wine reception courtesy of the Alumni Relations office. All are very welcome!

The Fifth Event

The 14th of March is the date for our penultimate event, which will feature Emily Heavey from the Centre for Language, Discourse and Communication and a team from the War Studies department consisting of Alison Hawks and Mark Erbel. Under discussion will be the linguistic construction of the altered body and the relationships between civil and private defence bodies.

The event runs from 6:15 in the Anatomy Theatre at KCL's Strand Campus, and will be followed by a small wine reception (courtesy of the Alumni Relations office). All are very welcome!

The Fourth Event

On the 28th of February, which is next Monday, we invite you to join us for the fourth event in our series. We're past the halfway point now, and to celebrate we will be having a short wine reception afterwards, generously provided by the alumni office. Even more compellingly, there will be talks from Lindsay Smith on socio-cultural differences in mental health care, and Stergios Stotas on the potential of cognitive radio. As ever, our venue is KCL's Anatomy Theatre on the Strand Campus; as ever, all are very welcome and encouraged to attend regardless of disciplinary or institutional affiliations!

Videos of the previous talks are coming - apologies for the continued delay. They'll be up on YouTube and on this site as soon as they get processed.

The Third Event

Next Monday, 14th February, we welcome two speakers from cross-disciplinary departments: Edison Bicudo from the Centre for Biomedicine in Society, who will be talking about his sociological study of clinical trials, and Oyvind Eide from the Centre for Computing in the Humanities, who will be speaking about computer modelling and cartography. The event commences at 6:15 in the Anatomy Theatre, which is on KCL's Strand Campus. This week we'll be sharing the space with another interdisciplinary event, CAVES, and we will be sharing some drinks with them! We hope you can join us.

Getting Underway

A few technical mishaps are keeping this website, temporarily, from being the hub of interdisciplinary wonderment which it deserves to be. However, we will soon be offering videos of the four talks we've so far hosted, and the next event (on February the 14th) will end with a wine reception generously sponsored by KCL's alumni relations office. When the videos come out it is also my intention to post a little more writing about our ideology and the reasons we're doing what we're doing.

So there's lots in the pipeline! Thanks for your forbearance and, if you're new, please do take a look at our calendar and mission statement for more details in the meantime.
