Research Seminars
Research seminars run regularly during the academic year and provide an opportunity for members of the School to present their research in a relaxed, supportive environment. In addition to internal speakers, the seminar series has attracted a large number of guest speakers from within the UK and internationally, developing research links between the School of Law and the wider academic community. The seminars also facilitate the integration of doctoral students into the research culture. These students are expected to be present at seminars and are encouraged to contribute to discussions. Members of other University Schools and interested members of the local legal profession are invited to attend.
Members of the School and guest speakers have addressed a diverse array of topics, ranging from, 'The Jurisprudence of Dylan Thomas' (Dr Adam Gearey, Birkbeck), to 'Illegal Fishing in the Southern Ocean' (Dr Michael White QC, Centre for Maritime Law, University of Queensland).
The Seminar Programme Coordinator is Dr. Bebhinn Donnelly.
