Racism, women in sport and a Q&A with Kevin Sinfield are on the agenda at Leeds Beckett talks

06 January 2016

The Carnegie Conversations Guest Speaker Series, organised by Leeds Beckett University and supported by FrontRow Legal, is set to return with a number of diverse public talks, ranging from racism in football to a Q&A with Leeds Rhinos legend, Kevin Sinfield MBE.

The hour long talks, which are free and open to the public, will run from January to April 2016, and will be held at one of three venues: Headingley Carnegie Stadium, the Carnegie Pavilion and the James Graham Building at Leeds Beckett’s Headingley Campus.

Speaking about the new series, Dr John Minten, Dean and Pro Vice Chancellor, Carnegie Faculty, said: “Carnegie has a long and proud tradition as an educator of young people, dating back to 1907. This excellence continues today and we are proud of our many notable Carnegie alumni, who include Kevin.

“Our staff and students have a long tradition of engaging with community groups, schools, charities and businesses in all aspects of sport and education, and our faculty has an international reputation in a wide range of areas, from events management to physical activity interventions.

“Our Carnegie Conversations programme is designed to engage with people from a wide range of backgrounds. I hope the people of Leeds and the wider region will be able to attend and enjoy the excellent speakers that we have visiting our University over the next few months.”

Richard Cramer, Principle Solicitor at FrontRow Legal and one of the country’s leading sports lawyers, added: “We are incredibly pleased to be supporting the Carnegie Conversation series for a second year – it solidifies the great relationship we have with Leeds Beckett University. The calibre of speakers is once again very high and the subject matter varied – this is testament to Leeds Beckett University’s reputation.”
