What is Blue Sock? Think of it as an away-day for early-career researchers from across the Faculty of Arts and Humanities (except it’s in the evening, and with beer, and aims to be a tiny bit glam). Blue Sock features a baker’s dozen of pecha-kucha presentations by your colleagues, short films from the Slade, a VJ for sounds & images, a complimentary tipple, and space to mingle and swap ideas and experiences with A+H folk you know (and probably some you don’t know, and some you don’t know you want to know…yet)

Wednesday 28 October 2009, 7pm-10pm
at The Horse Hospital, Colonnade, WC1N 1HX
(behind Russell Square tube station -- click here for a venue map)
