Summer Showcase Private View 2024

A World of Ideas

Join us for an exclusive preview of the 2024 Summer Showcase, the British Academy’s free annual festival of ideas, on Thursday 11 July (5-8pm).

Meet the eight exhibiting teams of researchers funded by the British Academy who will be bringing their work to life in research areas ranging from archaeology to international relations.

A range of exclusive 'in conversation' talks will include Hew Locke presenting his newly unveiled artwork; Professor Dame Mary Beard FBA in conversation with Professor Rana Mitter FBA about her latest book, Emperor of Rome; and The Rest is History podcast hosts Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook reflecting on their success in inspiring a new generation of history enthusiasts with our President, Professor Julia Black PBA.

And 10 Minute Talks – presented by British Academy-funded researchers, Fellows and members of our Early Career Researcher Network – will open windows onto their wide-ranging expertise.

Please RSVP via the invitation in your inbox.
