Research activities

As Chair of the MeCCSA Race, Ethnicity, and Postcolonial Network I run a monthly lunchtime series called 'Where are you up to?'.

This is a space for all levels of researchers, from MA students to full professors, to come and talk about their work. Speakers can use the space in whichever way they want, either practice for a viva, conference presentation, or sound out the ideas for a new project. If you'd like to take part please get in touch for the 2024/25 series of talks.
