Inaugural Lectures are given by our Professors to celebrate and present their outstanding achievements in research, education, innovation and impact.
Together they showcase the richness, range and academic excellence of King’s Arts and Humanities.
Professor Quash reflected on two decades of groundbreaking work at the intersection of Christian Theology and the Arts at King's.
He argued that at the heart of this enterprise is a shared revitalisation of what the Chorus in Shakespeare’s Henry V calls our 'imaginary forces’, to which art and sacred tradition can contribute in profound ways, in service of new articulations of where blessing lies.
Professor Bunz takes up one of the most consequential intellectual challenges of our moment.
Drawing on contemporary AI safety research from leading AI labs, she argues that the language produced by large language models is not simply human language reproduced by machines.
It is something altogether more interesting. If the humanities in the twentieth century analysed symbolic culture, she contends, their task in the twenty-first century is to understand vector culture: to understand how meaning emerges differently when language becomes calculation.
