Cluster > Victorian Speed

This term, the Diseases of Modern Life team showcased their research at two major public engagement events – our Victorian Speed Late at the Museum of the History of Science and Victorian Light Night with The Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities.

On Friday 16th November Woodstock Road was a hive of activity for "Victorian Light Night", part of both the national Being Human Festival and Oxford’s own Christmas Light Festival.

Today we released a podcast detailing our work with Cheney School as part of Victorian Light Night.

How do you turn five years of research into a spectacular light and sound show?

On the evening of Thursday 18th October, the Museum of the History of Science will be throwing open its doors for a special event – Victorian Speed: The Long History of Fast Living.

We are beyond excited to announce that 'The Victorian Speed of Life' project has won an University of Oxford Vice-Chancellor’s Public Engagement with Research Award.

Having suitably intrigued you about the projection shown on Victorian Light Night and/or made you sorry you missed it, we are excited to share video footage of "Victorian Speed of Life".
