The French Graduate Research Seminar


The French Graduate Research Seminar is a great opportunity to develop a stimulating dialogue amongst graduate students of the department and beyond. Sessions are open to all who wish to attend. Organised by graduates for graduates, the seminar is a unique chance to hear about the research of other students and get feedback from them on your own work in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Proposals for future seminars are welcome, especially from new members.


Programme for 2012/2013

All seminars will take place in the Media Centre, Raised Faculty Building, Sidgwick Avenue, at 5.15 for a 5.30 start, unless otherwise indicated. Papers will be followed by discussion. Wine and cheese will be served. All are very welcome.
