The next guest in the University’s In Conversation series will be the ITV news and current affairs presenter Alastair Stewart (20 February).
| The event will take place at 6.30pm in the Woolf Lecture Theatre on the University’s Canterbury campus. It is free and open to all.
Hosted by the University’s Chancellor Gavin Esler, In Conversation events are a relaxed and informal discussion between the guest and the Chancellor, with audience participation encouraged. Each event concludes with a Question and Answer session of pre-selected questions from the audience (the conversation can be joined on Twitter beforehand using #GavinAsks). Alastair Stewart’s broadcasting career started in 1976 with ITV’s Southern Television, in Southampton. He anchored the 2010 General Election for ITV having co-anchored the 1987 General Election with Sir Alastair Burnet, the 1992 General Election with Jon Snow; and the 1997 and 2005 General Elections with Jonathon Dimbleby. He presents a range of news and current affairs programmes on the ITV network including “The ITV Evening News”, “The ITV Lunchtime News” and “News at Ten”. He is Vice President of both Action for Children and Homestart. In 2006, he was awarded the OBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List for his work in broadcasting and for charity. After the talk, there will be a ticketed High Table Dinner with Alastair Stewart and the Chancellor with tickets priced at £45.00 per person. Money raised from the sale of tickets for this part of the event will go towards the Chancellor’s Hardship Fund. Find out more on the In Conversation webpages. The next guest in the free In Conversation series will be novelist Louis de Bernieres followed by the last event, which features musician James Wyatt, in a rare live appearance with his band. |
