Being Human Festival

Being Human is the UK’s national festival of the humanities, led by the School of Advanced Study, University of London in partnership with the Arts & Humanities Research Council and the British Academy.

Researchers at the Centre - especially those involved with the Beyond Bodies and Beyond Sex themes - are regular participants in the festival. It's an opportunity to present topics and discussions based on our research in non-traditional ways and collaborate with those outside of academia. 

Previous events organised by CBSS for Being Human include a collaging workshop to reimagine bodies, a story-telling workshop writing bed time stories, and film screenings that explore themes around organ transplantation and HIV.
