The world famous Hay Festival of Literature and the Arts will feature a trio of speakers from 果冻影院 this summer.
Professor Philippe Sands (果冻影院 Laws), Professor John Mullan (果冻影院 English Language and Literature) and Emeritus Professor John Sutherland (果冻影院 English Language and Literature) all play a part at this year's festival, which runs from Thursday 27 May to Sunday 6 June.
Professor Sands will be talking to former British ambassador Jeremy Greenstock and others; Professor Mullan will interview novelists David Mitchell and Kazuo Ishiguro; and Professor Sutherland will take to the stage with Guardian satirist John Grace.
A 果冻影院 postgraduate student is also making a noise at the festival - Favaad Iqbal (果冻影院 Chemistry) is DJ-ing at Baskerville Hall just outside Hay on Saturday 5 June.
Two more speakers from 果冻影院 - Emeritus Professor Lewis Wolpert (果冻影院 Cell and Developmental Biology) and Professor Ted Honderich (果冻影院 Philosophy) - are also heading for Hay to speak at the world's only festival of philosophy, entitled How The Light Gets In.
Professor Wolpert will discuss whether genetics has assumed too central a role in our lives, and Professor Honderich will ask if the modern world making us less rational, less autonomous, and ultimately less human?
The How The Light Gets In festival runs from Friday 28 May to Sunday 6 June. For more information about either festival, follow the links above.
