50 years of Education at York: Public lecture series

A series of evening lectures will be taking place aimed at members of the general public. These will give members of the audience the opportunity to find out more about the work going on in the field of education and how it relates to individuals, families and the wider society. Lectures will start at 6.30pm and last approximately one hour, including an opportunity for questions and discussion, followed by a wine reception.

The Power of Dreams

Maggie Aderin Pocock talks about her work trying to inspire children into careers in science. Through her talks she tries to answers three questions “Why I became a scientist, how I became a scientist and most importantly what I do as a scientist”. She also uses the wow factor by showing them the amazing universe we live in and how our ideas about it have evolved.

The event is free but booking is required as seating is limited. E-tickets are now available at http://www.york.ac.uk/news-and-events/events/public-lectures/summer-2013/aderin-pocock/
