Politics Seminar Series
No registration required. Open to all.
The Politics Seminar Series provides an opportunity to see prominent academics from the UK (and further afield) present their work to the department. They are open to all staff and students, and will be advertised to you here, via email and the department website. The seminars are an integral feature of the intellectual culture of the school, and are an especially valuable contribution to postgraduate learning and skill development. They introduce postgraduates to new, exciting areas of research beyond their own specialism. They offer invaluable experience of the variety of effective lecturing styles which postgraduates can utilise to improve their own teaching contributions. They offer a unique opportunity to meet respected scholars from around the country.
