Winter Lecture Series
gets underway
The University of Waikato’s
popular Winter Lecture Series gets underway on August 7 with
“An Unexpected Result: The Business of Hobbits”. Tourism
heads and researchers discuss the benefits to the region of
having parts of the Lord of the Rings and The
Hobbit movies filmed here. The speakers are Hamilton &
Waikato Tourism head Kiri Goulter, Matamata PR Association
manager Sue Whiting and the University’s Dr Carolyn
Michelle, who has been carrying out worldwide research on
perceptions of and reactions to The Hobbit. This is
the first of four lectures that will be on every Wednesday
evening in August. The lectures bring together the latest
university research and experts from the community to
promote robust discussion on a series of topics.
Subsequent weeks feature lectures on mental health, education and the arts.
The Winter Lecture Series is held in the Gallagher Academy of Performing Arts. Lectures run 6-7pm, are free and open to the public. For more information, visit http://www.waikato.ac.nz/events/lecture-series/winter-lectures.shtml
