WELCOME

Cornel West and Simon Goldhill (Director of CRASSH), May 2013 Welcome to the Michaelmas term programme at CRASSH. As you will see, we have over 100 events to whet your intellectual appetite and – this being CRASSH – to challenge, disturb, provoke and inspire you.

long-term international presence in Iraq, to the classrooms of Chile where an education system biased against indigenous pupils has received global recognition following student protests.

There are some high-profile speakers lined up for our big public events. As part of the Humanitas series we are delighted that Pierre Rosenberg, former Director of the Louvre, will be talking about Poussin in England. We look forward to welcoming Alastair Campbell, the former journalist who helped define a new era of media politics. We are launching a new Humanitas Chair in Sustainability Studies, and are honoured that the inaugural postholder will be ecologist Gretchen Daily.

Alongside these are events driven by those who names you might not know – yet. Find out about our new postdoctoral researchers in the New CRASSH Fellows pages. We will be appointing three further new postdocs this term for a major five-year project on the earliest photography of plague.

Lectures

They encompasss small-scale workshops, groups and seminars where intense intellectual exploration of cutting-edge topics take place, whether that edge is back with the medieval curriculum of the Trivium, in Early Modern material culture, in Victorian religion or in (post)modernism.

The vibrancy of this multi-layered tapestry of research reflects the presence at CRASSH of some major research projects, including a new initiative in development on the epistemology and the politics of the digital. Don’t watch this space! Sign up for our Newsletter, follow us on Twitter – and join in. See the back cover for contact details.

The subjects being explored at these events extend in geographical terms from the rubble of Baghdad ten years after the UN sanctioned a C/W Conferences/ Workshops

They range from Charles Pigden’s lecture, If You Are Not A Conspiracy Theorist Then You Are An Idiot, to Jack Zipes on how storytelling can change the world, to a conference entitled This Is My Body where scientists and surgeons from Addenbrooke’s will discuss with Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences scholars how to return human experience to the centre of medical discussion.
