Join Tim Minshall, Professor at the University of Cambridge’s Institute for Manufacturing, on an illuminating journey through the world of manufacturing and its transformational influence on our lives – and the world around us.

Tim will be in conversation with the York Literature Festival team to discuss the things around us and how they impact our world, be it the thousands of litres of water it takes to make a single pair of jeans or our smartphones that travel the world six times to reach us.

 

Tim Minshall is the inaugural Dr John C. Taylor Professor of Innovation at the University of Cambridge, the head of the Engineering Department’s Institute for Manufacturing and a fellow of Churchill College. His research, teaching and outreach are focused on the links between manufacturing and innovation. He lives in Cambridge with his scientist wife, Nicola.
