Please send your suggestions for future speakers for the Spring semester (to clare.andrews at stir.ac.uk<mailto:clare.andrews at stir.ac.uk>). PGRs especially, please don’t miss out on this as a networking and learning opportunity, and a contribution to ‘research culture’ in our division.

We will look forward to seeing everyone soon, including PGR and PGT students and new members.
