Guest Speaker: Kate Vredenburgh (LSE)

A webinar exploring the ways arts and culture can shift perceptions of policing. In 2019, West Midlands Police (WMP) embarked on a unique partnership with the Coventry City of Culture Trust (the Trust) in the delivery of Coventry UK City of Culture 2021. This partnership sought to enable officers to engage with arts and culture as a means of building positive community relationships, particularly amongst more vulnerable and seldom heard communities. In this webinar, we will explore the findings from our research into this partnership, and into the broader potential for police partnerships with artists and creative practitioners outside and beyond the City of Culture.

PhilSoc and the Philosophy Department are hosting a panel and discussion on a currently interesting, even pressing issue, of significance for philosophy and education. Students and faculty will put ideas and questions about ChatGPT and surrounding issues on the table, followed by discussion. All students and staff welcome.
