Our University Library and Collections Department's Learning and Engagement team provides interactive programmes and events for schools, community groups, families and lifelong learners. We interviewed John Roxborough, a Learning and Engagement Coordinator, to learn more about their work, including a recent visit to a local primary school.
Professor Jeremy Dibble has dedicated much of his academic career to researching and writing about Sir Charles Villiers Stanford. Dialogue caught up with Jeremy to understand how the composer’s legacy is still very much alive.
Meet members of the team at Event Durham who put their heart and soul into delivering exceptional events and read about Beth Cronin from our Advancement function as she defies gravity with her unusual hobby.
Learn more about Professor Anna Rowlands in our ‘A day in the life’ feature.
In our previous edition of Dialogue, we asked for your book recommendations and now we're excited to share them with you.
