Senior Academic seminar series 2010/11

The Senior Academic Seminar is the principal regular research event in the School's calendar, distinct from the range of themed workshops and research centre seminars run each week during the academic term. Our aim is to attract to Nottingham eminent researchers with name recognition outside their fields of specialisation, and for them to present on topics that will attract interest among the full community of faculty, research fellows and PhD scholars.

Seminars in this series will normally be held on Wednesdays, from 3:00 to 4.30pm unless stated otherwise.
