Dr. Bryan Brazeau has been awarded an Erasmus+ Organisational Support grant to explore potential partnerships at the Università degli Studi di Padova, particularly around the themes of sustainability and sustainable development in the Veneto region.

Dr. Bryan Brazeau will be participating in the Warwick-Warburg Doctoral Training Program on Thursday, 17 May. He will be giving a talk on ‘Social Media, Digital Networking, and Scholarly Communication’ at the Warburg institute in London covering topics such as the effective use of Twitter (scholarly communication, live-tweeting conferences, harvesting Twitter data) and the benefits and pitfalls of using a for-profit platform, such as Academia.edu for promoting publications.

The School for Cross-Faculty Studies' student-run magazine GLOBUS features an article by Dr Bryan Brazeau, titled 'Schools of Athens: Liberal Arts and Global Challenges'.

"As an educational discipline, Liberal Arts is all about critical and independent thinking – as its scholars therefore have very independent views, Liberal Arts has a different meaning for different individuals, be they scholars, teachers, or students. Here, Dr. Bryan Brazeau explores his own perspective, based on his background in classical culture during the Italian renaissance." (T Olive, Editor)

Three Warwick Liberal Arts students have been published in the September BLASTER Special Issue of 'Reinvention'.

This special issue of 'Reinvention' celebrates the research carried out by undergraduate students at universities involved in the BLASTER project. Each of the students is studying (or recently graduated from) a Liberal Arts and Sciences programme in the UK or Europe, and as such this special issue showcases the interdisciplinary work taking place in these institutions.

Our congratulations to our students, Najma Ahmad, Saskia Kaltenbrunner and Ceara Webster.

Translating Cultures of the Past is a collaborative and interdisciplinary project funded by the Monash Warwick Alliance, which brings together graduate students and staff from the University of Warwick and Monash University who have shared interests in working on medieval and renaissance culture. The project filmed an interview with Liberal Arts' Dr Gavin Schwartz-Leeper about interdisciplinary teaching, research collaboration and research-led teaching.
