About the Seminars
As part of our effort to ensure that postgraduate life at Grey is as rich as possible, we host termly Postgraduate Research Seminars. Each session has a particular, albeit loose-fitting, theme that corresponds with different stages of the postgraduate year.
Michaelmas term: Dispelling the Myth: Common (Mis)Understandings, the Reality and the Research.
Epiphany term: Research and the Everyday: Relevance and Applications.
Easter term: Getting into the Nitty Gritty: Difficulties with Postgraduate Research.
Format
The seminars are chaired, with a small introduction to the session and speakers. Each speaker then presents for 10-12 minutes, the floor is opened for questions, and the speaker is thanked. Wine, juice, and snacks are provided.
If you have any questions about participating, whether about presenting or attending, please contact Laura da Costa.
