Interregnum is a mid-semester special focus event during which TKC students explore a single topic of national importance. This spring Interregnum focuses on trust. The three-day event is arranged mostly by students and, in addition to the lectures by distinguished scholars, consists of readings, speeches, debates, and performances by students. Interregnum is an opportunity for students at The King’s College to exercise intellectual leadership by examining a complex problem in contemporary society.
