Stella Wisdom, a Digital Curator at the British Library, will discuss her views on how we will be reading in 2025; looking at trends and predictions for technology developments, changes in media consumption behaviour and the implications for our current understanding of reading, game playing and film watching all as separate, distinct activities.

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.
