The Civic University

Historically a civic university was the term given to a university devised to tend to a particular civic need - an institution created for the development of teaching and learning of a (predominately industrial) discourse. However a more contemporary understanding of this term is to think about the increasing 'need' for universities' to actively engage with their locality; to be successful and resilient.

Urban Laboratory Co-Director and Senior Research Associate Dr Clare Melhuish will speak at this public seminar organised by Radar at Loughborough Arts to explore the concept of a 'civic university'. Other speakers include Andrew Merritt and Paul Smyth (Design Collective - Something & Son) and Professor Darren Smith (Loughborough Geography).
