About this series
PIR Conversations is a new initiative. The programme of regular events is open to all, from new students to members of staff and external attendees. The format is relaxed and moves away from the formal lecture presentation. Leading academic experts explain in an accessible way the background and context to their argument or analysis as well as presenting their key findings. For example, they might discuss with the audience how they came to the research area, the major ideas and thinkers they work with and the issues at stake in their research. The talk and discussion will be followed by a reception to which everyone is invited.
