ÌÇÐÄTV

To celebrate Coventry’s year as UK City of Culture, the University of ÌÇÐÄTV – a principal partner of City of Culture – has been hosting The Resonate Festival. Next week marks the grand finale of the festival: three days of special events taking place on campus from 19-21 April 2022.

Dr Kirsten Harris, Associate Professor in Liberal Arts, will be contributing to the festival on Thursday evening, sharing her thoughts on the disputed concept of freedom.

In the final episode of the Faculty of Arts at Home Series, Professor Stéphanie Panichelli-Batalla (Professor in Global Sustainable Development and Head of the School for Cross-faculty Studies) gets us thinking about health and its delivery from a global perspective, by sharing her research on the Cuban Internationalist Solidarity Programme. Hear from Stéphanie about what healthcare means to the professionals on the programme, as well as how the programme itself has impacted Cuban society.
