School Seminar Series
All seminars take place on Thursday afternoons between 4.30-6.00pm (unless otherwise stated). We meet in room CNEO8 in the SSPSSR building unless stated otherwise.
Most seminars are followed by a 'social occasion' that includes drinks and a meal in Canterbury. SSPSSR will subsidise the costs of meals for postgraduate students. For further details, please contact Dr Miri Song A.M.Song@kent.ac.uk tel: 01227 827042.
