Seminar Series 3

The Centre runs a regular seminar series during the Michaelmas (October-November) and Lent (January-March) terms. Seminars take place at 12:00 pm (GMT) on Fridays at The West Lodge (in the Music Room on Staircase E) at Downing College. The West Lodge is a first-floor room without level access. It is intended that all seminars will be live-streamed to interested persons who register to view them.
