Seminar Series 2007/8

Each term the Graduate School of Education arranges a series of Research Seminars for staff and students where internationally renowned academics present their current or recently completed research and scholarly work. The seminars are aimed primarily at those involved or interested in educational research. Admission is free and teachers and other educational professionals are welcome to attend. The Seminars are held at the Graduate School of Education, University of Exeter, St Luke's Campus, Heavitree Road, Exeter EX1 2LU.

These Seminars also provide a forum for colleagues from various educational establishments to meet up. We hope that as many of you as possible will attend the seminars and join in the informal discussions afterwards. There is no need to inform us in advance - just turn up at the seminar.

For a full list of research events and seminars in the University see http://www.exeter.ac.uk/research/staff/events/ (staff only).
