Science, Poetry and the Connections
Previous events at Lucy Cavendish College have included two that involved scientists and poets working together. The first, in 2019, focused on the poets’ interpretations of the scientists’ work. It explored both their understanding and the collaboration between the individuals. The second event, in 2020, looked at the effect the Covid-19 pandemic was having on the scientists’ work and lives, in the context of the poets who themselves were also affected.
In this new event, we go full circle and explore the connections between the way poets write and scientists work. As before, there will be a mix of new compositions and panel discussion. The recognition that neurodiversity is important in both poetry and science will form a central theme, further celebrating the richness of human thought and the potential of diverse minds working together. The audience will be invited to participate and join the experiment.
