The Centre for Gender, Sexuality and Writing will be hosting a post-screening panel discussion of the film Carol at the Curzon cinema in Canterbury on Sunday 6 December at 14.45. Carol is adapted from the 1952 novel The Price of Salt by Patricia Highsmith which was published with the catchline “The novel of a love society forbids.”
You can watch the trailer and book tickets on the Curzon website.
The Music department will be getting into the Christmas mood next month, with a series of festive musical events throughout December.
The seasonal musical celebrations will get underway this Friday, 4 December, in ‘A Baroque Christmas,’ in which the Cecilian Choir and String Sinfonia come together in excerpts from Handel’s popular ‘Messiah’ and Vivaldi’s much-loved ‘Winter’ from The Four Seasons, together with a sparkling Double Oboe Concerto. The following weekend, on Saturday 12 December, the Chorus and Symphony Orchestra join forces for a rare performance of Vaughan Williams’ ‘The First Nowell,’ originally written as a nativity play but later turned into a concert piece featuring popular and less well-known carols and Christmas songs.
On Wednesday 16 December, a festive ‘Watch This Space’ will see assorted groups including Minerva Voices and the Flute Group in an informal event on the foyer-stage at lunchtime; then at 17.15, conductor Ian Swatman leads the Big Band in the now traditional Christmas Swing-along, featuring well-known seasonal classics and audience carol-singing with the Brass Group, followed by mulled wine and mince pieces in the foyer.
Full details and tickets are on the Music at Kent What’s On website; come and join us as Colyer-Fergusson rings with seasonal music to celebrate the Christmas season!

Considering postgraduate study? Interested in developing your legal skills further? Thought about the Kent LLM ? Our programme is open to all graduates from a relevant discipline: an undergraduate degree in law is not a requirement.
On Wednesday 2 December 2015 at 16.00-18.00 in ELT2, we will be holding an information session to introduce you to our LLM programme at Kent Law School. Open, Critical and International, the Kent LLM offers the opportunity to develop specialisms in a host of subject areas including International Commercial Law, Intellectual Property, Environmental Law, Medical Ethics, European Law, International Law, Criminal Justice, Human Rights and Law and the Humanities, to name a few.
Read about the experience of some of our LLM students here: http://blogs.kent.ac.uk/klsllm/
At the event, our Directors of Graduate Research, Dr Simone Wong and Professor Iain Ramsay and our LLM Stream Specialists will explain what you can study on the Kent LLM, how you can apply and will provide information about the scholarships that are available. A couple of our students, both law and non-law, who are currently on the LLM programme will speak about their experience of transition from undergraduate to postgraduate degrees. There will be an opportunity over refreshments to meet with our academics and current LLM students and to ask questions about the Kent LLM.
For catering purposes, we kindly ask that you complete this doodle poll to indicate your attendance at the talk.

Virginia Woolf vs Medway Mavericks 1-3
Keynes Athletic vs Keynes FC 3-3
Cricket: was a week of close calls with Eliot winning 106-105 against Darwin/Turing and Rutherford beating Keynes 57-55
Spotlight on Chumash:
The indoor league for lacrosse, Chumash, launched at the start of the term. Working closely with Tom Neilly, as a Kent Union Sports Executive, the team put together a programme of taster sessions, league games, two week cup and a round robin, to run across the term. With new and regular players now taking part, the format has been really successful and we hope to build on this next term when the league is launched again. In addition, we are now working with the women’s lacrosse club to promote new opportunities to join the club and promote the sport.
This week the results were as follows:
Rutherford Roughnecks vs Tur/Woolf Typhlosions 3-3
Eliot Eiderdowns vs Darwin Outlaws 3-2
Darwin Outlaws vs Rutherford Roughnecks 5-3
If you are interested in participating in any of the Inter-College sports or if you are a club and would like to work alongside the sports development team to develop new opportunities for your current members and future players then please do not hesitate to contact us at sportsdevelopment@kent.ac.uk
On behalf of the University of Kent, I would like to express our deepest sympathy to the people of France and those who lost their loved ones following the attacks in Paris on Friday. Our thoughts are with them at this terrible time.
The University will be joining the minute’s silence to be held across Europe today at 11.00 (UK time), in remembrance of those who lost their lives.
