'Cultures in Contact' Research Forum
The ‘Cultures in Contact’ Research Forum brings academics from across the UK and overseas to the University of Surrey to present and discuss their research.
It provides a valuable opportunity for us to welcome scholars whose work connects with our own research strengths across literature, communication, theory, and creative writing.
The Research Forum is open to interested parties including staff and postgraduate students.
The format is usually a 50 minute talk followed by questions and discussion. Wine and non-alcoholic refreshments will be provided. The forum usually takes place in room 55AC05.
The Research Forum is coordinated by Dr Kate Houlden.
Seminars: 2011-12
