The talk took place in the University Chapel on Friday 13 March.

The next talk in the series will be from Michael O’Brien on the subject ‘Curating the Great War’.
Michael O’Brien recently graduated from the University of Glasgow with a MSc. in Museum Studies.
In his talk he reflects upon the design and installation of an exhibition on the role of the University of Glasgow’s Officers Training Corps during the First World War. This included negotiating a difficult and emotive subject to provide a fresh perspective on the war and its legacy.
The talk will take place in the University Chapel on 27 March at 1.15pm.
