Running alongside these lectures on most Tuesdays at 4.15pm, during both semesters, will be a series of informal departmental research seminars in the History Department. All students are very welcome and encouraged to attend, to hear members of staff from this and other institutions discuss their own work. Look out for future announcements on posters and here on the website.
