The Q-Step team is pleased to announce its autumn series of pubTALK nights.

‘pubTALK’ is a series of informal talks about real-world issues, held on the first Thursday of every month (19.00 to 21.00) at The Jolly Sailor, 75 Northgate, Canterbury.

Each month, we have an expert giving a talk on a social issue and then the floor is open up to discussions all whilst enjoying a drink or two! The talk is for staff, students, the general public -anyone who is interested is welcome to attend.

Our first talk on Thursday 6 October is by Dr Amir-Homayoun Javadi on ‘the pursuit of the super you’, who will be discussing whether we should (or should not) use electrical brain stimulation to make a super-you.

This will be followed on Thursday 3 November by a discussion on ‘the importance of the social sciences in vaccine uptake’ by our guest speakers, Richard Clark and Rose Wilson from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine on Thursday 3 November.

The last talk in this term’s series will be given on Thursday 1 December by Dr Tina Haux on the subject of ‘lone parents and welfare reform’.

As always, the evenings are free to attend (although you do need to pay for your own drinks!) and all are welcome to stay behind to continue the discussions afterwards. You can get up-to-date information via our website or by joining our mailing list: qstep-events@kent.ac.uk.

If you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch.

We look forward to seeing you there!
