IPS Belgium Seminar Series 2022-2023
IPS Belgium Seminar Series 2022-2023
The third IPS Belgium seminar series will run from October 2022 to June 2023, meeting at Université Saint-Louis - Bruxelles and online on the third (or fourth) Friday of the month, from 4 pm to 5 pm (CET).
In each seminar, one participant introduces their work-in-progress (thesis chapter, book chapter, journal manuscript) to the group and invites a senior academic as discussant. The work-in-progress is also discussed by a junior scholar. The discussion is followed by questions and answers with the group.
All participants are expected to make every effort to attend the seminars and are expected to have read the papers in advance. Presenters are encouraged to invite their supervisors and colleagues interested in their work.
