HRC Visiting Fellows, whilst at the Centre, participate in the Centre’s programs and meet regularly with other fellows to make a public presentation of their research. Throughout COVID-19, however, the Humanities Research Centre will be holding its seminar series online and has asked its Friends and Affiliates to contribute.
Members of the University and the general public are welcome to participate in these Zoom seminars, and we encourage all students to join us, and tutors to advise their students of this opportunity. Normally, they would be followed by informal discussion and light refreshments but that will have to wait until we have a vaccine.
Each seminar is held at 4.30pm on a Tuesday (unless otherwise indicated).
