CSRC Seminar
Series 2009/10
We aim to post a
seminar paper on this site one week prior to each event.
Seminars take place
on Wednesdays from 16.00 to 17.30 each week
during term. Room numbers are given in red.
These seminars are primarily for DESTIN research students and
for DESTIN and CSRC staff. However, a small number of
places are reserved each week for DESTIN Masters students and
others interested in the topic - if
you would like to attend a particular seminar, please email
csp@lse.ac.uk in advance to
request a place.
