Event overview
Join us for a chaotic cabaret in the pub featuring a line-up of Goldsmiths experts who will reflect on the strange, dark time that has been 2016.
What happens if you fill a pub with clever and lovely people then invite loads of amazing Goldsmiths academics to entertain them?
In 2016 we entered the Darkest Timeline: Brexit, Bowie… Trump? Join us at the Amersham Arms on 3 November - days before the most powerful nation on earth shows us how broken democracy really is - to hear Goldsmiths, University of London academics take you on a high-speed dash through their chosen subject.
Featuring the algorithms of online dating, hidden satanic messages, cats and class war. Expect laughs, facts that sound totally made up but aren't, and loads of terrible PowerPoints.
Comedian and compere Steve Cross will be venturing south of the river once again to keep everyone to time. He used to work at UCL, but we won't hold it against him.
The line-up:
Chris French (Psychology) on hidden satanic messages – find out if you can hear them
Kate Devlin (Computing) on the algorithms of online dating: a scientific and a personal perspective
Sylvia Pan (Computing) – What can virtual humans do for us?
John Price (History) - No Hard Felines: Class War... with cats
Dee Harding (Computing) - Tired of Experts
Dominique Santos (Anthropology) on the Anthropology of NOT climbing trees
