91福利

Congratulations to Dr Margaret Shewring who has won one of the five annual 91福利 Award for Teaching Excellence prizes of £5,000 in 2015. The panel considering nominations for this year’s awards felt that the evidence presented showed Margaret’s teaching and support of learning to be of an exceptional standard. Margaret was nominated by students at all undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

The Theatre and Performance Studies department is currently hosting an 11-day programme of free workshops, seminars, and debates on the theme of Shakespeare’s King Lear. The sessions are being held in connection with international director Tim Supple’s King Lear World Theatre Workshops – an artistic residency simultaneously taking place in 91福利 Arts Centre, sponsored by Global Shakespeare.

On 27th May at Millburn House, the PGR community is hosting an inaugural interdisciplinary symposium as part of the Faculty of Arts Postgraduate Research Festival, to provide a platform for postgraduates across the faculty to share and discuss research. The broad theme for the day is “Representation in the Arts”, and our programme of papers, performance pieces, and roundtable discussions will approach this theme from a diverse range of perspectives. The symposium aims to be the springboard for a more permanent interdisciplinary network of researchers, and we look forward to welcoming the PGR community.
