Annual Kingdon Lecture 2020

Senior School
2 Oct 20

You are cordially invited to the Annual Kingdon Lecture 2020, this year hosted by Cocoa Runners. Mr Jones, Head of Academic Scholars, has created this unique virtual event, in light of the current circumstances, which allows us to open the invitation to the whole community.

Spencer Hyman, co-founder of Cocoa Runners (https://cocoarunners.com/), will be our guest speaker on ‘The Ethics Of Chocolate’, including real-time craft chocolate tasting via Zoom. Spencer’s interactive talk will cover a host of fascinating areas including: the geography and environmental impact of mass-produced chocolate, the ecological benefits of craft chocolate, the science of taste and aspects of philosophy.
