Over the course of six weeks, the Fellows of the Knapp Foundation will each deliver a presentation on their respective research programmes. The idea of the seminars is to provide a broader more public-oriented perspective on the scholarly work undertaken by the Foundation and how it relates to a “bigger picture”. As such, the seminars are aimed at a non-specialist, non-academic audience in order to demonstrate why what we do matters and what it really means that the Knapp Foundation opens “paths for enquiries into truth”.
Presentations will last no longer than 20-25 minutes and there will be a short Q&A following each paper. If you would like to register for the seminars, please contact Arnaud de Volder (arnaud.devolder@knappfoundation.ac.uk) and you will be added to the mailing list.
