SUMMARY:Caitlin Davies - Queens of the Underworld
DESCRIPTION:Popular culture is littered with famous criminal men – from Robin Hood to Ronnie Biggs they’ve become folk heroes. But what about all the criminal women?  Where are the highwaywomen\, jewel thieves\, bank robbers and gold smugglers? Did they never exist\, or have they just been forgotten? The Queens of the Underworld broke down barriers in their pursuit of crime\, whether wearing trousers\, driving racing cars or running illegal empires. But crime has been seen as a male pursuit and so female criminals have been dismissed and their stories have been lost. \nCome and hear Caitlin tell their stories. \nSadly\, this event will now only be on Zoom\, because of concerns about COVID-19. Those who registered for the in-person event will be sent the Zoom link. \nRegister on Eventbrite (Virtual event)

SUMMARY:In Pursuit of Silence: George Prochnik talks to Dr Simon Lewis
DESCRIPTION:Between iPods\, building works\, music-blasting restaurants and endless traffic noise\, the place for quiet grows ever smaller.  In Pursuit of Silence gives context to our increasing sense that noise pollution is an environmental catastrophe. Travelling and listening to a host of incredible characters\, including doctors\, neuroscientists\, acoustical engineers\, monks and aggrieved citizens\, George Prochnik examines why we began to be so loud as a society and what it is that gets lost when we can no longer find quiet. He will be in conversation with consultant psychiatrist Simon Lewis. \nThis will be a hybrid event\, on Zoom and with a limited audience in the hall. \nRegister on Eventbrite (Virtual event) \nRegister on Eventbrite (In person event)
