| 5 June 2019 | 17:30 | Laura Salisbury Inaugural LectureThis lecture analyses how the Second World War shaped, contained, and shifted embodied experiences of waiting in relation to broader ideas of lived time. The second global conflict of the twentieth century produced particular accounts of waiting as both military and civilian populations were exposed to the threat and anticipation of annihilation from the air.
