IPS the Netherlands Seminar Series 2022

IPS THE NETHERLANDS SEMINAR SERIES 2022

This first IPS Seminar Series will run monthly from January to June 2022. During each two-hour seminar, two participants will present a piece of work-in-progress (around 8000-10,000 words of a thesis chapter, book chapter, journal manuscript) to the group and invite a senior academic as discussant. The discussion will be followed by questions and comments from the audience. All attendees are encouraged to participate regularly and actively.  

All sessions will be held online. We also intend to organize physical events as part of the IPS network for scholars to meet each other and connect offline.
