They include: David Bovis\, Dr Adrian Wallbank\, Professor Ann Dowker\, Dr Mitchell Osei-Junior\, Dr Dionysios Kyropoulos and Dr Ian Iceton. \nYou’ll also have the opportunity to engage in interactive activities and a lively Q&A panel discussion\, so you will have tips\, techniques and a free goody bag to take away with you. \nTickets for this year’s event are just ÂŁ30 to help us cover some costs.

Great networking opportunities and so hugely impressive to see the potential the Hub has for driving forward research\, knowledge exchange\, and innovation in the area of learning differences within higher education. I’d also like to point out that the lunch was simply amazing! Best conference pies ever!!! 😊” \n\n“This was my first experience of attending a hub day. I thought it was fantastic. The speakers were varied and discussed a broad range of learning differences. There was also an opportunity to meet new people who are experts in their field and ask them questions. The venue was beautiful\, and I was enthusiastic at the end of the day to go home and research what I had learnt. I also adopted a few things I learnt that day\, which immediately increased my productivity and improved my work-life balance. I will be coming to the 2025 Dyslexia Hub Day for sure.” \n\n“I’d like to thank you both for a wonderful event on Friday. I thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a lot from it that I can apply academically and professionally.” \n\n“I’m reaching out again to say thank you – I feel like I talk almost constantly about there being a need for improved awareness of considerations and support for neurodivergent students in order to empower them to achieve and succeed\, and frustrated at how slow this is being picked up at the level I’m working at.” \n\nFind out more about what we do\n\nDyslexia Hub\nWho we are

SUMMARY:Vinson Centre Seminar Series in the Classical Political Economy Tradition
DESCRIPTION:Rethinking Monetary Economics: The Crucial Role of Commercial Banks’ by Dr Matthew Sekerke (Hiddenite Capital Partners)\nContemporary thinking in economics treats banks and capital markets as two species of financial intermediation\, ignoring the ability of commercial banks to create money when they extend credit.

SUMMARY:The Future of the Antique: Interpreting the Sculptural Canon
DESCRIPTION:The 51±ŹÁÏ\, the Census of Antique Works of Art and Architecture Known in the Renaissance (Humboldt-UniversitĂ€t zu Berlin)\, the The Warburg Institute\, University of London\, and the Institute of Classical Studies (University of London)\, are organising a two-day interdisciplinary conference to celebrate the publication of the new edition of Francis Haskell and Nicholas Penny’s seminal work Taste and the Antique. \nThis landmark publication provides an opportunity to review and coordinate recent achievements and new initiatives in the study and interpretation of the Greek and Roman sculptural legacy. \nThe original 1981 Yale University Press edition of Taste and the Antique significantly shaped the field’s direction over four decades\, influencing both academic research and curatorial practices. The revised and expanded three-volume edition (edited by Adriano Aymonino and Eloisa Dodero)\, substantially updates the scholarship with research from recent decades. This two-day conference aims to assess the current state of research\, rethink established methodologies and explore possible future directions in the field. Its primary goal is to foster discussion among different generations of scholars whose research outputs are often separated by language and methodological barriers. \nThe conference is organised by Adriano Aymonino and Kathleen Christian. \n\nCall for Papers\nWe invite proposals for twenty-minute papers.\nDeadline: 15 May 2025 \nFind out more about the Call for Papers.
