As in previous years, researchers at Kent and their collaborators are holding a fantastic range of thought-provoking interactive activities in Canterbury, showcasing their expertise and the value of the humanities.

These free events will open the doors to inspiring locations in Canterbury; Canterbury Archaeological Trust, Canterbury Roman Museum, and the Beaney House of Art and Knowledge.

The final event which takes place in the Grimond Lecture Theatre on the Canterbury campus on Tuesday 22 November from 18.00-19.00, promises to be a lively session. Bring your opinions to this participatory debate about the role of humanities and the hopes and fears of researchers in the 21st Century.

Throughout the festival, a team led by Ray Laurence, Professor of Roman History and Archaeology at Kent, will engage the public in their research over a number of events and through a variety of mediums; poetry, walking in the footsteps of medieval pilgrims, smells and sounds, and lively debate on hopes and fears for the humanities into the future.
