1pm Wed 20 March 2013: 2025 - The Emergence of Dancing Engineers? Funmi Adewole

We celebrate the end of this short season of thinking about the future with a view from Funmi Adewole, a PhD candidate in the Department of Dance. She thinks that with globalisation, the internet, changes in funding, education, Dance as a profession and a subject is evolving. Maybe 2025 will see the emergence of the dancing engineers. She recommends these blogs to look at before her session:

How TDC lunchtimes work

TDC Lunchtimes offer an opportunity to mix informally with colleagues from across the university. There is always a pot of tea on the go so why not bring your sandwiches and enjoy lunch with us? This term we meet every Wednesday for an hour from 1pm-2pm. There will be a talk or video or workshop for about 30 minutes, then the rest of the time will be taken up with conversation and networking around the teapot.

Location
The TDC is based in the old surgery behind Fletcher building, No.36 on the Campus Map. Access is by staff card, or ring the doorbell
