Enjoy our lectures - wherever you are

Our anniversary lecture series is a celebration of diverse interests and ideas. From a former director of GCHQ to a founding member of the Pogues, there is a broad spectrum of perspectives designed to appeal to the open minded and intellectually curious.

Professor Sir David Omand will examine the challenges of reconciling security and privacy online, in ‘Intelligence in the digital age’. And futurist Mark Stevenson will look at change on a grander scale in ‘The future is up for grabs’.

The emotional impact on journalists who cover difficult events forms the basis of ‘Shock, horror’ by Sian Williams, journalist, Brookes alumna and MSc Psychology student (University of Westminster). Sian covered the Hillsborough disaster, Asian tsunami and other harrowing events.

As well as inspirational external speakers, our 'best lecturers' - as voted by Brookes students in their 2013 awards - will be speaking about their specialist subjects throughout the year.
