CCSR's Lunchtime Discussions Series

The Lunchtime Discussions Series is a weekly meeting of CCSR and friends for informal discussions of our work. In contrast to 4pm seminar series, the lunchtime discussions are an opportunity to present work in progress, get feedback on research or teaching puzzles and engage in stimulating conversation in a friendly atmosphere over a sandwich and a drink.

Lunchtime discussion are held every Tuesday (in termtime) at 12 noon in room 1.69 Humanities Bridgeford Street (Kantorovich) (unless stated otherwise).

For more information about the lunchtime discussions series, or if you'd like to lead a session, please contact Nissa or Jose: Nissa.Finney@manchester.ac.uk (ext 54738) or jose.pinasanchez@postgrad.manchester.ac.uk.

CCSR also hosts a formal seminar series http://www.ccsr.ac.uk/seminars/ at 4pm on Tuesdays.
