Nick Earls: Reading in the 21st Century

Session Info:

This century, publishing has changed, lives have changed and, for many of us, the place of reading in our lives has shifted. In a talk that manages to draw in K-Pop star Psy, the Kardashian-Jenners, the ancient videogame Pong and journals including Science and Neurology, Nick Earls reviews these changes, looking deeper than the headlines, and making the case for making reading time in all our lives. Drawing on his PhD and other research, this talk somehow manages to be highly entertaining and evidence-based at the same time. Ideal for English teachers, teacher/librarians and any adults interested in the topic
