North America
The North America Regional Interest Group brings together inter-disciplinary Durham academics with shared interests in the USA and Canada.
This group provides a facility for staff to share regional expertise, ideas and information on research activity, on sources of funding to support research and teaching links; in addition to supporting the development of academic partnerships within these regions.
Any Durham staff who have interests within this region and wish to be involved with the North America Regional Interest Group are encouraged to either complete the survey of regional interest below, or contact Libby Wood for more information.
