Postponement of Emily Hauser, ‘Recovering the Women of the Trojan War’

We are sorry to announce that the next event in the Sing in Me, Muse series, Emily Hauser’s talk ‘Recovering the Women of the Trojan War‘ and reading from her novel For the Most Beautiful, initially scheduled for Thursday 16 February, has been postponed to Thursday, 23 March 2023, at 6.00pm (London time), due to UCU strike action.

If you had already booked to attend, the ticket remains valid, and you will receive the zoom link the day before the seminar, and again about 1 hour before the start.

We apologise for the inconvenience and hope you understand that we cannot ask our speakers to cross (even virtual) picket lines.
