CGHE Webinar
The University: a history in stone, silk, and blood
Date: Tuesday, 16 February 2027 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Location: Seminar Room A and MS Teams
Speaker(s):
- William Whyte
Often idealised as a sanctuary for disinterested reason, where material concerns are set aside in favour of higher principles, the university is in fact the meeting point for more material concerns. Tracing its history over the longue durée – from the twelfth to the twenty-first century – this paper will ask what happens when we write a history of the university focusing on things.
