Pembroke 400 Festival: 'Public Engagement: Local, Global and Future'

29th June 2024 marked the 400th anniversary of the signing of the 1624 Pembroke charter by King James I. We celebrated at Pembroke with a Festival showcasing 400 years of research, impact and community, featuring talks and panel discussions with alumni, academics and students, covering topics from AI, medicine and conservation to translation and human rights.
In this session panellists explore definitions and purposes of public engagement, and consider how it might play out as academia takes on the future. Moderator Tanya Beckett (BBC Business Correspondent) is joined by:
- Dr Katerina Johnson, Research Associate in Experimental Psychology
- Dr Nicholas Cole, Pembroke Academic Director and founder of The Quill Project
- Dr Gabriel Schenk, writer and Lecturer at Signum University
- Dr Kathryn Eccles, Senior Research Fellow at Pembroke and Oxford Internet Institute
