Current Events


Summer School

We had initially planned to host a summer school in Cambridge in July 2020. Due to Covid-19 restrictions the Summer School will now be held virtually from 12 to 16 July 2021. Enroll here.

Public Events

The Seminar will continue to host a series of public events each addressing key research findings from the Seminar theme. Prior events can be found here.

Seminar Virtual Events

The HoAI Reading Group will be held monthly for the duration of the Seminar and will be made accessible online for international participants who join the mailing list. In addition, we will offer a series of Methods and Critical Issues Training modules on disciplinary theories and methods, and Community Research Seminars highlighting new work.

Concluding Symposium

The Seminar will end with a Concluding Symposium for core Seminar members, held at the University of Cambridge in December 2021.
