Hi there
Apologies for cross-posting, but this seminar might well be of interest
to list members, particularly post-graduate students.
The idea with these seminars is to provide specific training to research
post-graduates and in particular thematic areas, previous seminars
organised by this group have covered researching devolution, and
European comparative research.
To avoid clogging up mail-boxes, the full call for participants is
available here.
