Event overview
Chaotic cabaret in the pub featuring a line-up of Goldsmiths academics who will delve into the weird and wonderful world of their research
What happens when you fill a pub with lovely people, then invite loads of amazing researchers to entertain them?
Join us at the Chandos on Thursday, 7 June as Goldsmiths researchers take you on a high-speed dash through their chosen subjects. Expect laughs, facts that sound totally made up but aren't, and loads of terrible PowerPoints.
