Destination Marketing Workshop
The Knowledge Quarter has been scoping the potential for joint destination marketing by Knowledge Quarter partners to increase the number of visitors to Knowledge Quarter institutions and customers for Knowledge Quarter products. Over the summer we have recruited a Marketing and Strategy Masters student to work with Knowledge Quarter partners on a potential joint marketing strategy. We would like to invite you to a workshop where we will present some of the early evidence of our mapping and desk research to stimulate discussion.

Placeless people: writing, rights and refugees
This lecture discusses how writers such as Arendt, Orwell, Simone Weil, Dorothy Thompson, and Samuel Beckett responded to the mass displacements of the last century, and anticipate many of the issues we confront today. Sceptical about the ability of human rights to legislate for refugees, yet committed to universal justice, these writers challenge us to imagine new terms for placelessness in modern times.

Public Commemoration and Women’s History
How are women remembered, commemorated and celebrated in public? How is this different from historical commemorations of men? What forms do these commemorations take? Why do public commemorations of women provoke such debate, and what are the legacies of these public memorials?
The Greatest Detective Story in History” and the Search for Missing Children after the Holocaust
Part of The Wiener Library's Fate Unknown exhibition series, this event will include a talk by Professor Dan Stone, co-curator of the exhibition, and a dramatic reading of excerpts of the Burgess radio play.
In 1950, Alan Burgess's BBC radio play, The Greatest Detective Story in History, gave unprecedented and moving insight into the work of the International Tracing Service (ITS), particularly with regard to its efforts to find missing children after the Second World War. The play also captures the ways in which the Nazi period was understood in Britain in the post-war years.
