A 17 March lecture at the University’s Paris Centre considered the impact of Jansenism on seventeenth-century France.
The lecture, which was delivered by Professor Michael Moriarty, Drapers Professor of French and Head of the Department of French at the University of Cambridge, was part of the Centre’s Politics of Translation, Translation of Cultures public lecture series.
It was followed by a Q&A session and discussion on Jansenism chaired by Dr James Fowler, Senior Lecturer in French at Kent.
Alongside current and former Paris Centre students, Professor Moriarty’s lecture was attended by Kent representatives: Professor Peter Brown, Academic Director for Paris; Professor Roger Vickerman, Dean for Europe; Dr Anthony Manning, Dean for Internationalisation; Professor David Herd, Head of the School of English; Professor Peter Stanfield, Head of the School of Arts; Professor Gerry Adler, Deputy Director of Kent School of Architecture; and Professor Shane Weller, Head of the School of European Culture and Languages.
