More than 30 University of Sydney academics, students and graduates will join a powerhouse line-up of speakers at this year's Sydney Writers' Festival. The University of Sydney community will join an eclectic mix of international and local authors for Australia's largest celebration of writing , from Monday 29 April to Sunday 5 May. We're thrilled to have such an extraordinary range of University of Sydney academics closely involved with this year's program, enriching our sessions with their expertise. As a proud 2019 Premier Partner, the University's sponsorship reaches its eighth year, reaffirming its commitment to ideas and culture in the city as the festival returns to Carriageworks, a five-minute walk from the main Camperdown/Darlington campus. We are proud to continue our partnership with the Festival and excited to see our scholars engage with some of the world's most exciting writers and thinkers, right on our doorstep. "The central ambitions of the Sydney Writers' Festival - to present new ideas, tackle important social issues and stimulate debate and discussion - are also at the heart of what we do at the University of Sydney," Professor Jagose said. A major highlight of the partnership includes an exclusive on-campus event that will see bestselling US novelist and Man Booker finalist Rachel Kushner join Professor Jagose to discuss her latest novel, The Mars Room, in the new Social Sciences Lecture Theatre on Thursday 2 May.
