Programme for 2026-27
We are working on an exciting programme for 2026-2027, so please save the dates below and register for the different sessions on the webpage as usual. There are some important changes:
Michael Farrelly has left the organising team, and we wish him all the best. Nina Venkataraman ( Lecturer, National University of Singapore) and Ben Clarke (Senior Lecturer in Communication Studies, University of Gothenburg) are joining Michael Kranert as organizers for the Seminar. We are also proposing a slight change in our programme: We will keep having talks, but will have three reading group sessions across the year for more active discussions between members. While this year, the new team will suggest three readings, we would really like to hear your suggestions for readings for the future. Feel free to suggest ideas in the reading groups sessions or email m.kranert@soton.ac.uk.
We are looking forward to seeing you all very soon,
Ben, Nina and Michael
