WELCOME

SiMOn GOLdhiLL (DIRECTOR) the new academic year brings with it the next installment of Crassh’s annual lecture series under the aegis of Understanding Society. marilyn strathern, richard sennett, Bruno latour, Juliet mitchell and anthony Giddens will each debate ‘the Big society’ on Tuesdays in term at Lady Mitchell Hall and on 27 november in a panel at Kings Place, london.

in addition, we’ll be spending an evening with Posy simmonds at the festival of ideas, and enjoying a series of lecture-recitals by robert levin (featuring the academy of ancient music) and lectures by Philippe de montebello as our first humanitas visiting professors of 2012-13. In fact, we’re expecting so many visitors we’ve launched a separate publication Who’s here with details of our six new postdocs starting work on The Bible & Antiquity in C19th Culture as well as our interdisciplinary research fellows.

We’re also welcoming some new graduate and faculty research groups on subjects as diverse as histories of archaeology and anthropology, the world in C19th, and active citizenship and the humanities. alongside this our conference programme continues apace with topics from soviet art to european defence to cinematic interior space.

this term sees an interesting collaboration between sociology and physiology in a mellon teaching seminar led by sarah franklin and martin Johnson.

there’s certainly enough to keep me busy this term – i hope you find the enclosed events enticing too!
