INSIGHTS Public Lectures at Newcastle University are free and open to all.
Newcastle University's public lecture programme, INSIGHTS, cover a wide range of disciplines and frequently include key contemporary issues, particularly those that affect our daily lives.
The lectures are delivered by leading public figures and eminent scholars. Any views expressed by speakers are their own, and do not necessarily reflect the views of Newcastle University.
All our events remain free and open to all, but pre-booking is now required. Bookings for lectures will open at 10.00am one week before the event.
Upcoming lectures include:
- The history of the NHS - and its future by Dr Andrew Seaton (5 October 2023)
- Black lives in the archives by Newcastle alumnus Peter Brathwaite (31 October 2023)
