TEAtime lecture series: sharing excitement in Humanities, 2012-2013

Published: 20 September 2012

Building on the success of the STEM TEAtime lecture series, we are pleased to announce the launch of the Humanities TEAtime lecture series in this academic year.

What is TEAtime?

TEAtime (Technology, Engineering and the Arts) is a free, exciting and informative lecture series giving students in years 11, 12 and 13 the opportunity to connect subjects they are studying in the national curriculum with current university research. The scheme already has a successful and well established history in Engineering and it is now being rolled out to Humanities, and involves our academics across the disciplines. The Humanities TEAtime lectures will be delivered by leading academics in their fields.

When is TEAtime?

TEAtime lectures will take place during school hours (12.00 – 15.30), lunch will be provided.

We would advise you to book your place as early as possible to avoid disappointment.

To book your place, please email outreach@soton.ac.uk

Please note that students must be accompanied by at least one teacher or representative from the school.

Is there any financial help available to enable my students to attend TEAtime?

Please contact Muniza Siddiqui for further information. We are providing free transport for targeted widening participation schools within Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.

I hope you and your students are able to attend the TEAtime lecture series in 2012/2013.
