Speaker information
Dr Helen Spurling, is responsible for developing the outreach work of the Parkes Institute. The programme of events and activities centres on developing adult education initiatives in conjunction with members of the Parkes Institute, and working with schools and colleges to develop aspiration raising activities and curriculum initiatives. The aims of the programme are to raise awareness of issues in Jewish/non-Jewish relations to the public regardless of background, to encourage progression to higher education in general, and the University of Southampton and the Parkes Institute in particular, and finally to raise awareness of the work of the Parkes Institute and Jewish studies as a subject in itself.
