We are looking forward to the inaugural lecture of Prof Devyani Sharma on Thursday February 12 (Week 4) at 5pm in the Schwarzman Centre theatre (basement level). Devyani’s lecture is co-hosted by English and LPP. The title is “Why accent matters - from social interaction to life outcomes.” You can find an abstract here. The lecture will be followed by a drinks reception in the Schwarzman Centre basement foyer, to which all are invited. 

The lecture is free and open to all but advance registration is required.

Please encourage colleagues, students, and friends to come along. Devyani’s lecture promises to be very interesting.
