Seminars and reading group

Weekly seminars

We host an exciting weekly seminar programme with a mix of stimulating external and internal speakers who are all renowned experts in their field. The seminars cover wide ranging of topics such as 'How climate change will affect global food security', 'Public perceptions of regenerative medicine' and 'The ethics of using animals in biomedical research'.

Afterwards, there is a chance to enjoy some refreshment, meet the speaker and continue discussion in an informal setting so why not come and join us.

Seminars are held every Thursday between 1.00 p.m. - 2.00 p.m. in Room A100, West Wing - Law and Social Sciences Building, University Park

Reading group

The ISS Reading Group was formed in April 2007 to provide a forum for discussing both seminal papers and topical issues that relate to the varied research interests of the Institute. It is open to anyone with an interest in analysing science, technology and medicine from a social science or humanities perspective. The format of the group is informal and friendly and it aims to provide an opportunity to:

• Share ideas.
• Broaden academic horizons.
• Get to know about our colleagues' interests.
• Make connections across apparently disparate areas of research.

Everyone is encouraged to participate in the selection and discussion of papers. Suggestions for readings can be e-mailed to Greg Hollin at greg.hollin@nottingham.ac.uk. All are welcome to attend.

The Reading Group meets on the last Thursday of the month between 12.30 p.m. – 1.30 p.m. in the Staff Club, University Park.
