5. The CSEAS Reading Group: A Special Roundtable Session
On Friday, 28 January at 4 pm, the CSEAS Reading Group will be holding a special roundtable session in which a number of our colleagues will each present very short (5-minute) ‘introductions’ or ‘invitations’ to a book of their choosing. No reading or preparation is necessary to join the roundtable. We hope this will help encourage broader trans-disciplinary participation in our future sessions and welcome you all to attend!
