Natalie Haynes and Claudia Hammond join the line up at Brighton Base Camp on 30 April
With just three weeks to go to get your ticket for Brighton Base Camp and we are delighted that our speakers will include Natalie Haynes and Claudia Hammond.
Natalie Haynes is a writer, broadcaster, comedian and journalist, and – according to the Washington Post – a rock star mythologist. With a degree in Classics from Cambridge, Natalie takes a fresh look at the ancient world - her novels and stand-up routines deftly bringing figures from ancient Greece and Rome into the modern world.
At Brighton Base Camp, Natalie will share the lessons we can learn from ancient Greece, as well as her reflections on her own journey and the extraordinary time we are living through. Having spoken on the modern relevance of the classical world on three continents, from Cambridge to Chicago to Auckland, Natalie will be a witty and erudite guide, brimming with subversive enthusiasm.
Claudia Hammond is an Award-winning writer, broadcaster, and Visiting Professor in the Public Understanding of Psychology at the University of Sussex
Claudia will be in conversation with our MC Kathy Caton. They’ll be discussing Claudia’s recent book The Art of Rest, the importance of realising you need rest and why, and how to give yourself permission to rest. Claudia will also be explaining what constitutes rest, how to do it, and why it’s more relevant than ever as we come out of lockdown with new and different habits, behaviours, and concerns.
As the presenter of All in the Mind, Claudia is BBC Radio 4's voice of psychology and mental health. She has been awarded the President's Medal from the British Academy, the British Psychological Society's Public Engagement & Media Award, Mind's Making a Difference Award and the British Neuroscience Association's Public Understanding of Neuroscience Award.
Claudia is also the author of Emotional Rollercoaster, Mind over Money and Time Warped; winner of the British Psychological Society's Best Popular Science Book Award, and the Aeon Transmission Award.
