The LDC Research Seminar Series is a space for staff, PGR students and visiting scholars to come together to discuss their research and other topics under the broad remit of language, linguistics, discourse and communication.

The focus is largely on participants’ current empirical research, but the seminar is open to a range of formats in addition to speaker presentations, such as discussions of potential projects and funding ideas, discussions of theory and methods papers, and brainstorming collaborations. The seminar also offers a space for PGR students to present in preparation for their upgrade from MPhil to PhD.

The LDC Research Seminar is co-led by doctoral researchers, capitalising on their interests and organisational initiative. Especially for PhD students, these seminars are an opportunity to discuss research projects in a friendly and supportive environment.

The seminars run fortnightly on Wednesdays 1-2:30pm in term time.
