The Department of Social Anthropology invites staff and students to attend a series of presentations by current MPhil students on the subject of their dissertation research. It is intended to be a space for the intellectual community at large to engage with the research being carried out at postgraduate level and provide valuable feedback for MPhil students who are in the process of writing their dissertations. This is a ‘drop in and drop out’ style event, so please feel free to attend as many of the presentations as you are able.
All welcome.
Enquiries and for the Zoom link please contact: Dr Joe Ellis je325@cam.ac.uk
