Summary

Michael Rosen LSE | The Languages of Migration
LSE and Migration Museum Project Public Lecture 2014

Wednesday 26th November ⎪ 6.30 – 8pm⎪Reception until 9pm
Admission free ⎪ Tickets must be booked in advance

Language is central to our understanding of migration: on the one hand, migrants bring languages with them and, on the other, the countries they arrive in develop a special language to describe migrants. Michael Rosen will explore the ways in which these two aspects meet, partly by looking at his own background, partly by looking at his experience in education over the last 40 years.

Michael Rosen (@MichaelRosenYes) was born in 1946 in north-west London. His mother was born in London, his father in Brockton, Mass. USA. All their grandparents were migrants – mostly from Poland but also from what is now Romania. He is a former Children’s Laureate and the present Professor of Children’s Literature at Goldsmiths, University of London.

Ticket Information

Tickets are available from the LSE website on Tuesday 18th November (it’s a good idea to book early as they go very quickly). Only one ticket per person can be requested and it must be booked in advance.

Booking from LSE

LSE students and staff are able to collect one ticket per person from the New Academic Building SU shop, located on the Kingsway side of the building from 10am on Tuesday 18 November. These tickets are available on a first come, first serve basis.

Members of the public, LSE alumni, LSE students and LSE staff can request one ticket via the online ticket request form which will be live on LSE’s event listing from around 6pm on Tuesday 18 November until at least 12noon on Wednesday 19 November. If at 12noon we have received more requests than there are tickets available, the line will be closed, and tickets will be allocated on a random basis to those requests received. If we have received fewer requests than tickets available, the ticket line will stay open until all tickets have been allocated.

In person (LSE students and staff only)
LSE students and staff are able to collect one ticket per person from the New Academic Building SU shop, located on the Kingsway side of the building from 10am on Tuesday 18 November. These tickets are available on a first come, first serve basis.

Please note, we cannot control exactly when the ticket line will upload, and publishing delays do sometimes occur. As the system now allows requests to be made over a long period of time, if when you visit the LSE event listing page the ticket line is not live, we would advise revisiting the page at a later time. 

For any queries see LSE Events FAQ or contact us at events@lse.ac.uk or 0207 955 6043.
