Out to lunch ... with Roy Foster

Post categories:

William Crawley | 19:54 UK time, Friday, 26 October 2007

bio_foster_roy.jpgThe distinguished Irish historian is my guest next Wednesday at the first of a new series of lunchtime talks at Queen's University. The series is titled "Out to Lunch with William Crawley" (details ), and the idea is very simple: I interview some leading academic, cultural or political personality in the company of more than a hundred lunch guests, who also have the chance to put questions and engage in conversation. The whole thing was inspired and developed by Lynn Corken, and it's already proving enormously successful. I am delighted that has agreed to be my inaugural guest; I, like man others, am a great fan of his books. Lynn tells me there are very few tickets are left for the the first event; but you can still chance your arm. Lunch is included and tickets are available from the Queen's University

£16 for lunch seems a bit much - is the idea to keep students away or allow them to engage with these personalities?
