Scholars and artists from across the world will be coming to Chichester this autumn for the second season of the George Bell Institute’s International Series.
Speakers from Germany, Japan, Norway, Denmark and United States will join others from Britain to talk about art history, modern European and Asian history and music during the series, which runs between September and December.
Dr Andrew Chandler, University of Chichester lecturer and director of the George Bell Institute, said: “The autumn series will seek to build on the foundations laid by the first series this spring and create a distinctive meeting place for University, church and city in the heart of Chichester.”
The last academic year has seen significant progress in the work of the George Bell Institute at large, with the successful establishment of a joint-funded international programme in Chichester running through the year and preparations for an annual public lecture.
Dr Chandler, who teaches courses in Modern British, European and American History, and also supervises dissertation and postgraduate work, is now finding ways in which the research work of the George Bell Institute can make valuable new opportunities available to undergraduate students at the University.
“The institute’s growing relationship with the Krzyzowa Foundation in Poland produced a first visit to Poland by students from the History department in May. This is likely to set a pattern for other students too in the new academic year,” he said.
All meetings take place at George Bell House, Canon Lane, Chichester. Tea and coffee will be available at 6.00pm, with the talk beginning at 6.30pm.
