Argument

This year, due to its extraordinary online nature, the workshop will be limited to two 90-minute sessions of student presentations, and one 60-minute session, led by the workshop organisers, that will focus on the ‘career’ side of PhD study.

The themes will this year likewise be limited to History (session One) and Politics (session Two).
