Untangling Resilience to Depression

Many people talk about ‘resilience’, but what exactly is it? What factors make some people more resilient than others? Is it their brain or their environment? This event brings together mental health researchers, practitioners, and members of the public to discuss and debate this important issue, which affects every one of us.

Cultural Narratives at the U.S.-Mexico Border in a Tense Time

With talk of a border wall dominating the news, a divisive moment in U.S. border politics is unfolding amidst a much longer context of cultural exchange and evolution in the border region. What can such narratives teach us about the current moment? Join two leading humanities scholars of the U.S. borderlands as they discuss their work in this context, in an event that will hopefully draw links with European scholarship on similar themes.

Dear MusICA subscribers and others,

We have a rather unusual and exciting MusICA seminar this week.

It takes the form of a seminar/workshop by David Antony Reid, a professional guitar luthier with over 20 years of experience.

As part of his talk about his approach to guitar making, David has promised to bring along a selection of his multi-award winning instruments, which interested musicians will have the chance to play.

All welcome, as usual.
