Research seminars
The Keele School of Law regularly organizes research seminars to foster academic discussion amongst scholars from the Law School and other institutions. The seminars offer an opportunity for speakers to present their work – at various stages of development – and receive feedback in a friendly and informal environment.
All sessions will take place on Wednesdays, 13:00-14:00, except for the Postgraduate Researchers’ showcases on 2 December and 5 May, which will be 13:00-15:00
