Description
The Digital Modern Languages convenors are holding a series of virtual events to bring together research and teaching in Modern Languages which engages with digital culture, media and technologies, and showcasing new and exciting research currently undertaken by PhD students across Modern Languages departments. The aim is also to provide a forum for doctoral researchers to present and receive feedback on their work in a supportive environment, particularly at a time when such opportunities may be more limited than in normal circumstances.
Our third Digital Modern Languages virtual seminar will take place at 3:30-5pm (BST) on Wednesday 22 July 2020. The seminar will include three 15-minute presentations from doctoral researchers, followed by a Q & A session with all presenters.
Advance registration is essential in order to be given access to the seminar.
