Conversations with Friends – Online talks

To mark the end of each semester, Lisa and her Creative Writing colleagues at Wolverhampton University hosted the Conversations with Friends series in association with Artsfest.

These online socials invite a special guest to discuss a topic that has featured across the programme that semester or been a subject at large affecting the student community.

So far, the team have hosted:
