Wednesday Research Seminar

The department runs a series of International Development Research Seminars through Autumn and Winter terms for academic staff and research students.

This year's seminar programme has an internal departmental flavour, with the aim of getting to know each other's work better and giving feedback on ongoing research, particularly in the case of junior faculty. We will also experiment with a discussion panel format for the final meeting, with the aim of building understanding of different methodologies and epistemologies used by members of the department.

Seminars will take place on Wednesdays 12.30 - 2pm in the Graham Wallas Room, alternating each week with the new PhD student seminar series in the same room, at the same time.
