Key Thinkers Seminar Series 2009

The Key Thinkers Seminar Series will be held from May through November. The series converges with cross-cultural and biography RSH themes, it’s a flexible format drawing on prominent ANU academics who discuss the significance and legacy of intellectuals, activists, writers, and artists, those ‘key thinkers’ who have been important influences on their work.

All lectures are on a Tuesday from 5pm-6.30pm, they run for approximately fifty minutes allowing time for questions.
