Royal visit 👑

We're honoured that lecturer Leah represented our department and the University of Lincoln during HRH The Duke of Edinburgh's visit to Lincoln last week.

One of the highlights of the visit was the Duke's stop at the iconic 'Wonky House' at the junction of Michaelgate and Steep Hill.

Lincoln is officially the most affordable student city in the UK! (And by coincidence also the mosy beautiful and has the best cathedral)

The GTS, LSHH & Jacaranda Press are hosting the award-winning Trinidadian author Celeste Mohammed to launch Ever Since We Small. Her lecture "Truth Over Trope: West Indian Writing and the Power of the Novel-in-Stories’ will take place on Fri 17th October, 5pm in the Jackson LT. All welcome!
