The Book Club Series

presented by QUB Alumni
The Book Club

We are delighted to collaborate with the Queen's Alumni team on their Book Club series. The book under discussion each time, will be a recent publication from one of our staff, students, or alumni.

The event will feature the author themselves, in conversation with one of our Faculty or friends. Audiences are invited to ask questions at the live event, or just sit back and enjoy the discussion. Recordings of previous Book Club events will be shared on QFT Player afterwards.
