(Also, we know, we know! We have since learned that Xanadu is actually from Coleridge's poem, Kubla Khan, and is actually a name for the Chinese city, Shangdu. Oops! We were inebriated and careless with initial research. Forgive us~) 

What is Livin' la Viva Voce?

Livin’ la Viva Voce is a series dedicated to bringing academic scrutiny upon a myriad of topics, using the age old art form, the PhD defence. Join us, Meg & Adam, as we put our skills to the test, and construct PhD vivas in under a week on a topic randomly selected by the other. Oh and did we mention? We’ll be drunk whilst presenting!
