On the 7^th November, a Faculty of Arts Year 9 taster-day brought together 40 students from schools in Coventry and Birmingham, to explore some of the themes of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. The aim of the day was to introduce students to the breadth of perspectives offered by arts subjects and to hopefully inspire them to consider the arts in their future studies. With academics from English, History, History of Art (Dr Sarah Walford), Film and Television and Liberal Arts, students were invited to interrogate the text and historical sources, think about attitudes to the body, analyse visual imagery and consider the changing character of the Creature in film adaptations of the story. After a lively discussion about the ethical implications of current developments in artificial intelligence and bio-hacking, students were invited to consider what advice they would have offered Frankenstein prior to his experiments. The day ended with a Q&A session with departmental ambassadors and a campus tour.
