Talk About the North 2010
Since beginning in 2007, 'Talk about the North' has brought in audiences from both within the University and the wider community to hear speakers from many different subject areas and personal standpoints discuss issuers of relevance to the past, present and future of the North of England and, indeed, 'norths' much further afield. We very much look forward to welcoming back our regular visitors and to greeting new faces.
All talks between 3 March and 21 April will be held Northern Terrace, NT118 and those from the 28 April in Broadcasting Place, A301; from 1.15pm - 2.15pm.
