CSRG Work-in-Progress Presentations

The last 8th of October, the Critical Studies Research (CSRG) launched this term’s Work-in-Progress presentations. The CSRG meets most weeks on Tuesdays, 1-2, in Pavilion Parade (room 203), although we recommend to either confirm the exact location  or directly meet us in the foyer of Pavilion Parade building before attending.
Although the work-in-progress presentations are intended to be delivered by and to PhD students and academic staff, MA students and undergraduates are strongly encouraged to attend, ask questions, get involved in the CSRG organising other activities and, of course, present their work if they wish. If you would like to contact us either at criticalstudiesgroup@brighton.ac.uk or personally during the sessions.
