British Academy lectures

Since its foundation, the Academy has maintained a tradition of holding public lectures.

Most lectures are given in established series, and many of these series are associated with endowments received by the Academy. Following a major review in 2011, there are now 29 series of lectures, and 3 series of symposia - listed below in the order in which they were (or will be) first delivered.
