Intellectual Forum Online Summer School Programme, 2022
In 2022, the Intellectual Forum hosted a fully online summer school programme that included a range of interdisciplinary talks drawing from across the College's expertise.
This programme involved esteemed academic, researchers and industry specialists linked to Jesus College. Students received a mix of lectures, workshops, careers-focused talks and introductions to student life in Cambridge from people including Jesus College's Fellows, Junior Research Fellows, College Post-Doctoral Fellows, College Teaching Officers, Intellectual Forum Senior Research and Research Associates, and Visiting Fellows.
The Intellectual Forum is able to work with partner institutions to deliver educational programmes from one day to two weeks in length, either online or in-person, or both. Students will be taught in a range of formats, by a range of people from across the College and subjects can be interdisciplinary or focused on one area. For more information, please contact our Deputy Director, Dr Eleanor O'Gorman.
