Upcoming Launch

Conversations Across the Creek

An interdisciplinary discussion group,
launched by Brian Schmidt

Thursday 24 March 2016, 1.00 - 2.30pm
HRC Conference Room, A.D Hope Building<http://anu.us12.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=8ef027b9f4b3590a9e118e767&id=0599ee8e3c&e=f1524be129>, ANU

Conversations Across the Creek has invited the Vice Chancellor, Professor Brian Schmidt, to be the first to discuss his research at a meeting to be held from 1.00pm 2.30pm, Thursday 24 March (this week, the day before Good Friday).

Debates about Two Cultures may be buried in the snow, or sand in the case of this wide brown land, but Sullivan's Creek flows across our national university physically separating the sciences on one bank and the humanities and social sciences on the other. Or so it would seem. Conversations Across the Creek is an effort, under the auspices of the Head of the Humanities Research Centre (HRC) and the Director of the Australian National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science (CPAS), to provide a space for continuing dialogue among ANU scientists, social scientists and humanities scholars - with the aim of providing food for thought (and lunch) and of stimulating or unearthing research and teaching collaborations across the University.

At meetings scheduled on the second or third Friday of each month at lunchtime, from 12.00-1.30pm, two humanities scholars or social scientists and two scholars from the physical sciences will be invited to communicate their latest research to colleagues from all over the University. These four 10-minute presentations will be followed by interdisciplinary discussions and will take place over an informal lunch at the Humanities Research Centre conference room in the A.D. Hope Building.
