In 2003 the International Division of the Institute of Continuing Education celebrates its eightieth year of arranging International Summer Schools. Over 900 visitors will come to the University for periods of study lasting from two to six weeks. At the core of each Summer School are small special study classes, usually taught by members of the University. Each programme also offers plenary lectures for all participants in that Summer School, and experts from within the University and beyond are invited to contribute to these series.
These lectures have been very well received in the past, and the organizers of the Summer Schools would like, where possible, to make them more widely accessible to those with research and teaching interests in the subject concerned. The lectures are not open to the public, but where space in the lecture hall or venue permits, the Institute is willing to make places available for members of the University to attend the plenary lectures which interest them most.
Please note: members of the University may be asked to confirm their status to one of the Institute's staff in attendance at the lecture hall. We would be grateful if those wishing to attend any of these lectures would notify us in advance. Contact details are given at the end of this list. Any unavoidable changes to the list of venues or speakers will be posted in the main Summer Schools Office (Foyer, Lady Mitchell Hall, for all except the Science Summer Schools): we suggest that those interested arrive a few minutes in advance in order to allow time to check the location.
The first term of the Institute of Continuing Education's seventy-first International Summer School will take place from Monday, 7 July to Friday, 1 August 2003. The talks in this series of lectures follow the theme of Time. The topics have been chosen to stimulate interest amongst a group of students whose own interests are necessarily very diverse. Interpretations are far-reaching: subjects range from art history, botany, and cosmology to literature, politics, and current events. Lectures take place on weekday mornings, in the Lady Mitchell Hall. They begin promptly at 10.30 a.m., and finish at 11.30 a.m. The series is arranged for the around 300 participants on the International Summer School, but members of the University are cordially invited to attend.
