Conference convener
Professor Mary Jacobus (CRASSH, University of Cambridge)
Summary
The current year’s theme will culminate in a
major Mellon-funded conference at the end of June 2011: ‘The Future
University’ - not ‘the Future of the University’ (over which the new
‘austerity’ looms alarmingly), but its evolving character and changing
concerns, especially in the digital age. The conference will address
post-disciplinary developments along with policy implications, as well
as the catalyst provided by the creative and performing arts on one
hand, and the social sciences on the other, when it comes to rethinking
the very basis of ‘the Future University’ as a place where education and
research (including practice-based research) remain vitally
inter-connected within the broad field we know as the Humanities. Please click on the link at the right hand side of the page to see the programme.
