Book Launch - Hidden Depths: The Origins of Human Connection
Event details
Can a new story of human emotions help us to find ourselves today?
Starting with drinks in the Berrick Saul Building at 5.45pm, this evening of discussion will see Penny show the relevance of the origins of human emotion and emotional connection to the issues we face in today’s world. Penny will begin with a talk on these themes, and then lead a Q&A session with the audience. We will also be providing more information about White Rose University Press, and you will be able to meet the Chair of the Editorial Board and the Press Manager.
