This is a past event
The next Statutory Meeting of the General Council and exclusive alumni May Festival event – Aberdeen Humanities – The Future of our Past on Saturday 30 May at 2pm in King's College Conference Centre, University of Aberdeen.
Our panel of experts will bring to life the recent work supported by the Aberdeen Humanities Fund. Learn how this exciting initiative fosters leading research in the humanities so as to enrich the cultural life of the University, the city and the surrounding region.
Dr Colin Barr (History) will talk about his project - Scotland's Catholic Archives - which explores international collaborations relating to the historic archives of the Catholic Church in Scotland, now held at Aberdeen. Dr Zohar Hadromi-Allouche (Religious Studies) will enlighten audiences on how she is making use of the Biesenthal Collection held at Aberdeen, and other materials in London, Haifa and Jerusalem to investigate The Muslim Eve: The Image of Eve in the Muslim Tradition.
This promises to be a fascinating exploration into the value of the humanities, the leading research environment of the University, and the rich heritage of our Collections.
The Statutory Meeting will include a report from the Convenor of the Business Committee and General Council notices. Follow the link to find out more about the General Council
Following the meeting we would be delighted if you could join our panel and fellow graduates for afternoon tea in the James MacKay Hall from 3pm.
