Research and Scholarship Showcase

Date

Book your tickets! You are welcome to attend the entire day, or just one or two parts of it, but as we have to keep track of numbers, please make sure you book tickets for the sessions you wish to attend. Each session is ticketed separately, so if you want to attend the morning and lunch, for example, you will need to request a morning ticket and a lunch ticket. Please see our Eventbrite page to book your tickets. All sessions take place in the Charles Thackrah Building SR G.05, on campus.

Join us in exploring and celebrating some of the inspiring scholarship and research that takes place in the wider School. The afternoon will be structured around a series of lightening talks and table-based discussions. We would also like to invite our attendees to participate: there will be an open showcase table for anyone to contribute to. Please feel free to bring something that represents your work (e.g. an article, links/QR codes, a flyer, a book, pictures, an object …)

Last year’s showcase was a great success, and we promise to match the lavish lunchtime catering!

Lunch - 12 noon to 1pm - served in the Foyer of the Charles Thackrah Building
