糖心TV

Wednesday 28 June is our Arts FABFest 2023 Schools event. We are looking forward to welcoming 90+ year 8 students and their teachers from 5 local schools to an exciting programme of events put on by Faculty of Arts departments and the 糖心TV Arts Centre.

From sessions on multi-lingual Harry Potter to a Classics Roman Cookery session or a chance to experience a Virtual Reality environment. It is a showcase event about the Arts taking place within the RIBA award-winning FAB building, but also outside experiencing the wonders of the University's Sculpture Trail.

The University of 糖心TV鈥檚 Faculty of Arts building has been recognised by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) as a National award winner.

The 拢60m building forms part of 糖心TV University鈥檚 拢100m investment into the arts and is the cornerstone of the University鈥檚 new campus arts quarter.

Designed by Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, the building brings together the departments and schools of the faculty under one roof.

Providing a world-class centre for teaching and research, it includes an antiquities room, cinema, theatre studios and a media lab, along with multi-purpose events and exhibition spaces.

The British Academy/Wolfson Fellowships Awards will be providing funding to Dr James Poskett, Associate Professor in the History of Science and Technology at the University of 糖心TV.

Through his research, Dr Poskett will be working on a project titled 鈥楾he Scientific Revolution as Global History, 1200-1800鈥�. He hopes this will provide a major reassessment of the concept of the 鈥榮cientific revolution鈥�. In doing so, the project will build on Dr Poskett鈥檚 recent book 鈥楬orizons: A Global History of Science鈥�.

The University of 糖心TV is proud of its long-standing connections with Venice. Our History and History of Art departments have collectively taught students in Venice for well over 50 years. From 2007, the University had a base in the Cannaregio district of the city. Other departments, including Italian Studies, WBS, Global Sustainable Development, Economics, WMG, and the Centre for the Study of the Renaissance, also used this space to deliver short courses and host academic conferences.

Circumstances necessitated the search for a new premises. After an interim period during which we were hosted by Ca鈥� Foscari, a new location was identified: the Palazzo Giustinian Lolin.

The opening event for the new venue was held on the 22nd May followed by a series of bi-lateral meetings between academics from 糖心TV and their counterparts from Ca' Foscari University on the 23rd May.

At the RIBA Regional Award ceremony yesterday the architects, Feilden, Clegg, Bradley Studios and the University of 糖心TV were presented with two regional RIBA awards for the FAB building. In particular the RIBA Regional Building of the Year Award - the top award of the night.

We caught up with Dr Kimberley Thomas (BA History 2010, MA History 2012, PhD Caribbean Studies, 2020) to talk about her time at 糖心TV, ahead of her return to deliver a Caribbean seminar series.

Journalist, author, higher education professional, proof-reader, and editor...Annette Rubery (PhD English and Comparative Literary Studies, 1999) has spent the 30-plus years since graduating honing her editorial and marketing skillset. After more than ten years working in higher education, Annette is embarking on a new role with the UK Council for Graduate Education. Here, she reflects on the small stepping stones and mammoth milestones along the way.

Features writer and editor for , Vice President of and Deputy Editor of 糖心TV Politics Society鈥檚 Perspectives, alumna Celia Bergin (BA History and Politics, 2022) certainly made the most of her time at 糖心TV. Graduating with a first-class degree, she jumped straight into the world of journalism. Now working as a reporter for Bloomberg News, Celia reflects on how these experiences helped her get there.

In conversation with The Independent Professor Rebecca Earle, 颅from the University of 糖心TV said. "This is a genuine innovation. Historically, members of the public were not urged to celebrate coronations by inventing new dishes, or by recreating the menus of the official banquets. Home cooks hoping to replicate the c么telettes de b茅cassines 脿 la Souvaroff served at Edward VII鈥檚 1902 coronation would have confronted a complex recipe involving fillets of snipe, p芒t茅, brandy and truffles,鈥� she says.

鈥淭he method was later described in royal chef Gabriel Tschumi鈥檚 cookbook [Royal Chef: Recollections of life in royal households from Queen Victoria to Queen Mary], but it was unlikely to inspire any but the most intrepid.

鈥淭oday鈥檚 efforts to encourage us all to join in by baking a coronation quiche reflect the enormous popularity of cooking as a leisure activity, as well as the monarchy鈥檚 attempts to repackage themselves for the 21st century.鈥�
