Speculative Lunches

This series of informal and enjoyable discussion meetings offer a forum for research ideas at an early stage of formulation. These ‘blue skies’ events take place about twice each semester around the table in the congenial IASH meeting room; they are open to all members of staff in the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, but for reasons of space and to help concentrate discussion, numbers at each meeting are limited to 12 – 15. Each meeting is free to structure discussion as it wishes; no ‘outcomes’ are inferred or required!
