[Phd-econ] Economics PhD Annual Reviews Autumn 2025

Dear colleagues, I am pleased to share the schedule for this year’s Annual Review presentations in the Economics Division: * Thursday 18th September (in the Divisional Seminar Slot) * Jayne Brown * Gabe Han * Kevin Kim * Thursday 2nd October (in the Divisional Seminar Slot) * Liz Barker * Omobola Olagbenro All staff and PhD students are warmly invited to attend. These sessions are an important opportunity to hear about the ongoing research of our PhD students, provide constructive feedback, and support their progress. A couple of reminders and requests: * Supervisors: if you have not yet done so, please get in touch with me to confirm the reviewer for your student. * Chairs: I will need additional support. In particular, I cannot chair Kevin Kim’s or Gabe Han’s reviews on 18th September due to conflicts of interest, and on 2nd October I will need someone else to chair one of Liz Barker’s or Omobola Olagbenro’s reviews. Please let me know if you are available to help.
