Dialogues: Research events series
Dialogues in Sociology: The Surrey Sociology Research Series is designed as a series of events which will run yearly, combining smaller workshops and seminars, and larger public events. Dialogues, we hope, will provide an ongoing commentary on contemporary topics in sociology, criminology and communications. These events will usually be free to attend, and where possible, we will make recordings of the events available on this page.
This series is being directed by Professor Ranjana Das. Please feel free to write to Ranjana to find out more about upcoming or past events at r.das@surrey.ac.uk.
Semester 1 event line up, 2022-2023
If you would like to attend any of these events please contact Professor Ranjana Das (r.das@surrey.ac.uk)
