Forensic anthropology in the real world
10/12/2018 - Professor Dame Sue Black OBE, Lancaster University
An international diplomat, a panel of Black British authors, an immersive and musical dramatic reading, and captivating talks from our own academics – just some recent examples of events that formed part of this year’s Public Lecture Series.
Our Public Lectures, which are free and open for all members of the public, staff and students to attend, are just one of the ways the University engages with communities, sharing research and its relevance to everyday lives. Lectures feature experts from Lancaster University and beyond to present and discuss various topics, all with the ultimate aim of being accessible, fun, thought-provoking and educational. All lectures include the opportunity to ask questions of the speakers and share your thoughts during a Question & Answer session.
We have lots of exciting and varied lectures in the pipeline for our 2024/25 series.
Watch this space for more or, to hear about upcoming lectures first, sign up to our Connect Newsletter. Signing-up means you’ll be the first to hear about the series and register for tickets before they’re released more widely. Our talks are almost always fully booked so make sure you sign up now!
If you’re unable to attend a lecture, don’t worry, the majority are recorded and available to view after the event here on our public lectures webpage.
We are delighted to make these videos and presentations available for later viewings or for your own use. If you use these in your work or research, we would be grateful if you would credit the University and/or the speakers. Thank you.
