THE director of a cultural festival in Coventry says its events in March will celebrate the city’s ‘Amazing Women’ – including a family campus day showcasing women in science.
The University of Warwick’s Resonate Festival has launched its full spring programme, with March events coinciding with International Women’s Day 2022 and culminating with a big on-campus three-day festival finale from April 19-21.
This will be university’s way of marking Coventry’s UK City of Culture year coming to a close and a host of “very special guests” are expected to be announced soon.
Helen Wheatley, Resonate’s Festival Director, who is Professor of Film & Television Studies, said: “In the lead up to our big on-campus festival, we have still got lots of events happening all around the city. Our spring season focuses on three themes: Being Human, Health, and Amazing Women.
“Across the month of March, and coinciding with International Women’s Day we’re focusing on Amazing Women.
“From an interactive exhibition about magical, fortune-telling women at the Central Library to a family day on campus promoting the role of women in science, there will be something for everyone to take part in and enjoy.
Events taking place on the themes of Being Human and Health aim to encourage people across Coventry and Warwickshire to think about how to stay healthy, happy and successful in 2022.
Professor Wheatley added: “Researchers from the university, from Warwick Business and Medical Schools and beyond, invite you to come along to a series of events this spring, whether you’re a business owner wanting to hone your negotiation skills, or you’re curious about how food affects your mood or how you can improve your own mental and physical health.
“As with all of our Resonate events, we’re inviting people to come and collaborate, to talk to us about the topics that matter to you and to find out how you can play a role in future research.”
