Postgraduate research seminars
The seminar series welcomes all postgraduate students in the School of Culture and Communication.
During semester, the various disciplines within the school hold weekly staff/postgraduate research seminars, in which local and guest speakers read a research paper, followed by discussion. You are strongly encouraged to attend and are welcome to offer papers or suggest visiting speakers. Details of the programmes will be circulated by email and posted on the website.
Postgraduate students organise their own seminar series in addition to the school’s seminar series. Details will be circulated by email and posted on the website, and you are strongly encouraged to attend, offer a paper, and take advantage of this opportunity to meet other postgraduate students.
