Woolf Public Seminars

Woolf’s Public Seminars are open to the public – simply register to join. During the seminars, speakers will present work-in-progress papers. Following the paper reading, the convener will conduct a Q&A session.

Woolf students are invited to ask questions first, followed by Woolf Faculty, then public attendees.

If you are interested in becoming a speaker, contact the convener for the seminar you think is most appropriate.
