Under the title "From the palm tree to the barcode: memories of the faculty", a series of round tables will be held between the months of February and April 2022 with the aim of discussing and reflecting on the history of the Faculty of Arts.
Participating in these roundtables will be teaching staff and administrative and service staff who have worked at the Faculty at different times over its history. Each roundtable will bring together people from different departments and related studies and will take the form of a conversation. The meetings will offer a chance to look back at some of the highlights, tell anecdotes and reflect on the principal changes seen in the faculty's 50 years.
The first of these talks will take place on 24 February and will focus on the departments teaching languages and literature. The panel will include Esther Forgas, Elizabeth Russell, Emili Samper, Carme Torres and Carme Martínez and will be moderated by Joana Zaragoza, dean of the Faculty of Arts between 1997 and 2001.
