Research Seminars 

The School of Politics sponsors a regular research seminar series, which meets every two weeks during term-time and brings together academic staff and postgraduate and undergraduate students from the University. The purpose of the research seminars is to provide a forum for the presentation of cutting-edge research papers and to increase awareness among our students about developments in diverse themes of research in the field today. 

We invite high-profile UK and international scholars to present their work and encourage discussions with the audience. All members of the University and wider academic community are welcome to participate. Forthcoming seminars can be viewed on our events calendar.
