Venue:
TBC
No booking required
Clouds are not only meteorological phenomena: they are also ethereal bodies with a long history of association with the emotions and with literary and social metaphor. Join Dr Vladimir Jankovic (Manchester), Dr Richard Hamblyn (Birkbeck) and Professor Esther Leslie (Birkbeck) for a discussion about clouds from eighteenth-century meteorology and Romantic poetry to nuclear mushrooms and cloud computing.
This was part of Birkbeck's Arts Week 2014.
