Research Seminars

Each term the Faculty offers academics, postgraduates and visiting scholars a wealth of seminars to choose from, with new series emerging to reflect members' developing research interests. There are also seminars run by the Faculty's research centres and research projects, at CRASSH and across the School of Arts and Humanities. The difficulty is choosing which to attend.
