What is the Faculty of Arts PG Forum all about?

The format is simple: we will gather in a lecture room every Friday at 4pm for a presentation by a PG student and afterwards we will head for the pub.


Benefits
Speakers benefit from feedback on their research and presentation style from fellow students from across the Faculty and the rest of us can get inspired by the diversity of work carried out at PG level! 
The social provides the opportunity for informal feedback and for extending your network.


Call for papers
If you would like to present, please let us know. This could be a 20 minute paper, but we can accommodate any other format - a 50 minute lecture, joint presentation, discussion, etc.
Obviously, this is a great opportunity to practice a conference paper or departmental talk, but it is meant to be work-in-progress.


MA Students
We also welcome proposals from MA students and encourage you to attend, especially if you're interested in doing a research degree!


School of Modern Languages
We are looking for someone from the School of Modern Languages to join our committee, so if you're interested to be involved in shaping this initiative, do get in touch!
