Subject Centre events

1. Enhancing Environmental Awareness through Literatures, Languages and Area Studies

09 September 2005, CILT, London
The English Subject Centre and the Subject Centre for Languages, Linguistics and Area Studies have recently completed projects as part of the HEFCEs Education for Sustainable Development agenda. Sustainable development is not always seen as a natural concern for humanities disciplines, but the work of the English and LLAS Subject Centres has demonstrated that environmental issues can be approached thought the studies of historical and contemporary cultures, societies and literatures. The study of these subjects can help practitioners and their students to reflect on their own practices. For further information, visit the Subject Centre events page.

2. Routes into Reading

20 October 2005, Institute of Romance Studies, Senate House, London
This one-day conference will present ideas and strategies for creating interest and enthusiasm among students for the study of foreign language literatures. These may include the use of literature in translation and other texts (such as film) that have been derived from or refer to works of literature. To reserve a place please register at the Subject Centre event page.
