Centre Seminar Series

The Centre has a regular Tuesday seminar series, as well as hosting one-off events through the year. View the full programme

Tuesday lunchtime seminars offer a regular point of contact between staff and students with an interest in Environment, Heritage and Policy from across the University, and a warm welcome is also extended to anyone with an interest beyond the University. The aims are to share and ‘test out’ new ideas, seek wider collaboration, disseminate research, strengthen and expand upon the established links between the Divisions, and — most importantly — reinforce a strong and vibrant research culture. We also welcome external speakers. The seminars are very informal and have no single format.

Programme 2020-21  

Please see our programme summary below, or download the programme pdf here.

Until further notice, all seminars will be online and conducted using Microsoft Teams. To receive an invitation to join meetings, please ensure you are on the CEHP mailing list – send your email address to Dr Sally Foster. If you are not part of the University, we will invite you to join Teams as a guest. Meanwhile, please note the dates below in your diaries – electronic calendar invites will follow nearer the event. You can ask to leave the mailing list at any time.

All meetings run from 13:00 to 13:55 hrs.
