The format will be shorter this time (2 hours as a default) and as a default, we are asking speakers to suggest a list of papers for discussion to turn it into more of a seminar/discussion group rather than a long lecture. Suggestions from postgraduate students for the second semester are still welcome. Abstracts, reading and further details will be updated when we receive them.
The masterclasses are designed for PhD students, but staff, MA students and very keen undergraduates are welcome to attend!
