As November arrives, Lumiere returns for another dazzling display in the city. This year’s event includes two installations which draw on ground-breaking research taking place at our University.
With winter approaching and the evenings getting darker earlier we have some tips to help improve personal safety on and around campus.
We also spoke with author Radha Kapuria from our Department of History to find out more about her interest in music in colonial Punjab and her recent book on the subject.
Following the success of Durham Global Week earlier this year we are inviting our Durham community to nominate candidates for the 2024 Durham Global Awards.
And finally, we find out more about Penny Hawley in our ‘A day in the life’ feature.
